                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 30, 1998

  Mr. KLINK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the New Castle 
High School Men's Basketball team for their victorious 1997-98 season. 
Under the leadership of Head Coach John Sananderea, the Red Hurricanes 
advanced down a record-breaking path to the state championship title 
game.
  This season has been unforgettable for the team itself as well as the 
Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League. Setting four 
records in the Class AAAA division, the Red Hurricanes are the first 
team to reach the 30-win plateau finishing with a record of 30-2. They 
are the first team to win back-to-back WPIAL Class AAAA championships 
and the second to advance to the PIAA title game. In addition, Coach 
Sananderea was named WPIAL coach of the Year.
  The 1998 Red Hurricanes team have their mark in the WPIAL record 
books, as well as the New Castle community. The team's talent and 
respect for the game inspired the community, renewing a sense of 
spirit, unity, and pride in New Castle.
  It is with great pride and honor that I urge my colleagues to rise 
and honor the New Castle Red Hurricanes. Their success has made their 
school, community, and the entire Fourth Congressional District proud.
