  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Lady Hawks 
of Carrollton High School on their recent state basketball 
championship. The Lady Hawks defeated Augusta Southeastern, 24-20, to 
win their second consecutive Illinois High School Association Class A 
State Basketball Championship.
  In addition to being crowned state champs, the Carrollton Lady Hawks 
finished with a record of 34 victories and only 3 losses. This team was 
able to reel off 24 consecutive wins en route to back-to-back titles. 
The Lady Hawks gave Carrollton basketball fans a thrill throughout 
their historic season.
  I would like to personally commend the team members and coaches for a 
job well done. They are: Krisse Peters, Lauren Brannan, Justine Tucker, 
Alicia DeShasier, Tracy Stumpf, Katie Nolan, Dana Carter, Terra Stumpf, 
Amber Shelton, Molly Reed, Lisa Grummel, Jena Staples, Nicole Meyer, 
and Hannah Cunningham. Their coaches are Head Coach Lori Blade and 
Assistant Coach Donna Farley. I am very proud of you all.
