                         Tuesday, May 13, 2003

  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize and applaud the 
remarkable Dallas Junior Texans Wheelchair Basketball Team of Grand 
Prairie. This team has shown great strength and determination 
throughout the past season.
  Last year, the Dallas Junior Texans placed 9th overall in the Nation 
and finished the National Junior Wheelchair Basketball Tournament with 
a record of 3-1. This was truly an awesome accomplishment for the young 
players on the Dallas Junior Texans.
  The Dallas Junior Texans owe their success to their competitive 
spirit and remarkable sportsmanship. I applaud their skilled teamwork 
and hope that next year's season will bring them another national 
placement in the top ten.
  Mr. Speaker, the member of the Dallas Junior Texans Wheelchair 
Basketball Team know that playing their sport is about so much more 
than basketball--it's about teamwork, friendships, and determination. I 
know my colleagues will join me today to honor them for living up to 
the true spirit of sport.
