         TRIBUTE TO NEW BERLIN WEST HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GERALD D. KLECZKA

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 23, 2000

  Mr. KLECZKA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend the New Berlin West 
High School Boys' Basketball team, which won the Division II State 
Championship on March 18, 2000. These impressive young men brought home 
the first state title in school history, and were only the 27th school 
in tournament history to win a championship in their first try. With an 
outstanding 26-0 record, the Vikings swept their way to the Woodland 
Conference title, State title, and a Number One ranking in state polls. 
I would like to offer my heartfelt congratulations to the entire team, 
including Head Coach Jeff Lewiston and All-State Honorable Mentions 
John and Jason Chappell, for a job well done. The students, faculty and 
staff of New Berlin West High School, as well as the greater 
communities of New Berlin, Waukesha County, and the 4th Congressional 
District, have reason to be proud.

                          ____________________
