  Mr. ANDREWS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the LEAP 
Academy Lancer Basketball Team on their first South Jersey Group I

  The Lancer Basketball team completed their season 18-7-0. The LEAP 
Academy basketball program, in its second year, is affiliated with 
Rutgers-Camden University. Much of their schedule consists of playing 
teams from the Philadelphia area and Central and North Jersey.
  Coach Marco Morcos led his team to a phenomenal season that included 
a seven game winning streak and defeating teams like Bishop Eustace 
from the South Jersey region. The team included four seniors, Earl 
Knight, Nathaniel Cooper, William Mace, and Lance James; four juniors, 
Crawford John, Michael Craig, Chauncey Gillian, and Jamal Baylor-ali; 
two sophomores, Gary Lyons and Dylan Talley; and four freshmen, Jeremy 
Delgado, Orlando Hidalgo, Tyrone Parker, and Eric Johnson. Scoring 
leaders of the team include William Mace (196), Lance James (191), and 
Dylan Talley (190). Assists leaders include Lance James (103), Crawford 
John (42), and Dylan Talley (34). Blocks leaders include William Mace 
(40), Crawford John (19), and Earl Knight (10). Rebound leaders include 
William Mace (161), Crawford John (121) and Dylan Talley (89). Steals 
leaders include Crawford John (54), Lance James (40), and William Mace 
(26). Three point field goal leaders include Lance James (17), Dylan 
Talley (17), and Crawford John (12).
  Mr. Speaker, I offer my congratulations to the LEAP Academy 
Basketball Team for an exceptional 2005-2006 season and on their 
championship. I wish the entire team and school the best of luck in 
their future athletic, personal, and professional lives.
