       IN RECOGNITION OF THE NORTH CATHOLIC GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM

 Mr. SANTORUM. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize the 
North Catholic Girls Basketball team for their 25 years of outstanding 
accomplishments.
  Over the past 25 years, the team has earned a record of 671 wins and 
100 losses. Coach Don Barth, the team's coach during their first 23 
years, took the team to the WPIAL championship game 21 times. Last 
year, the team again went to the championship game under their current 
coach, Molly Larkin Rothman.
  Among the team's other accomplishments, they have won the state 
championships seven times, the conference championship 25 times, and 
they hold the record for the longest winning streak with 56 wins 
between 1987 and 1989.
  Mr. President, I ask my colleagues to join with me in congratulating 
the North Catholic Girls Basketball team on their outstanding 
accomplishments over the past 25 years. They have provided an excellent 
example for youth in Pennsylvania and throughout the country.
