                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. SCOTTY BAESLER

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 14, 1998

  Mr. BAESLER. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to congratulate the 
Georgetown College men's basketball team on its first National 
Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) tournament victory. On 
March 23rd, the Tigers beat Southern Nazarene 83-69. The following day, 
the national championship team returned from Tulsa, Oklahoma, to a 
parade down Georgetown's Main Street and a rousing pep rally with 
hundreds of delighted fans.
  The Georgetown Tigers got to the final round by defeating Hannibal-
LaGrange 80-68, Montana State-Northern 78-65, Central Washington 92-79 
and top-seeded Azusa Pacific 94-76. They had advanced to the NAIA title 
game twice before, but this win represents only the fifth time since 
1948 that a Kentucky team has won the NAIA championship game.
  My heartiest congratulations to the Georgetown Tigers on a well-
deserved victory!
