                 WEST LAFAYETTE GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM

 Mr. LUGAR. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize the West 
Lafayette girls' basketball team in West Lafayette, Indiana as the 1998 
Indiana Class 3A Girls' Basketball State Champion.
  On Saturday, March 14, 1998, the West Lafayette Red Devils rallied 
under coach Steve Dietrich and assistant coaches Alyson Sautter and

their season with an impressive 24-4 record.
  I congratulate the West Lafayette Red Devils on their season of 
excellence in the Hoosier tradition of basketball. I commend the 
players, coaches and supporters for their dedication and enthusiasm, 
which has fostered an outstanding girls' basketball program.
