  Ms. CARSON of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate Bishop 
Chatard High School, Indianapolis, IN, on winning the Indiana State 
Boys Basketball Championship (Class 3A). Chatard's Trojans triumphed 
over Fort Wayne Elmhurst by a score of 78-44.
  The Chatard Trojans won their first state basketball title ever on 
Saturday night to complete an outstanding season record of 22-2.
  Congratulations to Coach Dan Archer and the Chatard Trojan players: 
John Loughery, Jamaal Wade, Dray Mason, Marques Presley, Ryan Baker, 
Mike Dury, Frank Halliburton, Greg Cage, Dan Cage, Tony Barnes, Jimmy 
Scheidler, and Jonas Coleman.
  The Indiana State Boys Basketball Championship was played at Conseco 
Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, IN.
  The Trojans competitive spirit and remarkable sportsmanship 
contributed to an excellent season for the team. I applaud their 
skilled teamwork and hope next year's season will bring them another 
state final championship.
  Again, an outstanding example of perfect teamwork.
  Congratulations to the Trojans! Job well done. You've made us proud!
