  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, I would like to extend my heartfelt 
congratulations to Head Coach David Sweet and his Ottawa-Glandorf men's 
basketball team on the winning of their first State Championship in 
high school basketball.
  The Ottawa-Glandorf High School men's basketball team has worked 
tirelessly in pursuit of excellence on the basketball court.
  The character and team-oriented attitude found on the Ottawa-Glandorf 
men's basketball team helped the Titans to win the state tournament 
final over a team with only one season loss.
  The Ottawa-Glandorf Titans out-rebounded their opponents 45-25 and 
defeated them by 33 points in the state title game.
  Mr. Speaker, Ottawa-Glandorf's State Championship in Division II high 
school men's basketball was a school-record twenty-seventh season 
victory and was their eighteenth consecutive victory.

  The Ottawa-Glandorf High School finished the season with an 
outstanding 27-1 record, capped by the school's first State 
Championship in high school men's basketball. They embody everything 
that is good about our young people and I commend them on their 
outstanding performance on and off the basketball court this year.
