                SHALLOWATER HIGH SCHOOL STATE CHAMPIONS

  (Mr. NEUGEBAUER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. NEUGEBAUER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Shallowater High School State champion boys and girls basketball teams. 
Within the span of 1 week, the Shallowater boys teams followed the 
girls in an elite list of State basketball championships. This is an 
unprecedented victory for the school which can only be attributed to 
pure hard work and dedication.
  In a rare moment in Texas State championships, both the girls and 
boys basketball teams won a State title. The Mustangs from Shallowater 
executed a 47-45 overtime victory over Argyle, thus winning the class 
2A boys championship game. Just a week earlier, the Fillies, the girls 
team from Shallowater, triumphed over Aubrey with a dramatic 44-37 win 
and captured the girls 2A State championship game.
  This is no small feat for a rural community high school like 
Shallowater to achieve what it has in this past week. These students 
have shown exemplary performance and proven what a commitment can do.
  Shallowater is the home of champions. The players, Coach Chuck 
Darden, and Coach Ray Morris will go down in history as the folks who 
put their town in the spotlight through determination and hard work.
