  Mr. GORDON of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
2006-2007 Riverda1e High School Lady Warriors and their championship 
basketball season. The Lady Warriors are from my home town of 
Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and I am proud of them for this tremendous 
accomplishment.
  I know these ladies put forth intense determination and perseverance 
as they captured the first girls basketball championship for a 
Murfreesboro team in 83 years and the first ever for Riverdale High 
School.
  The Lady Warriors were dominant throughout their season. Their final 
win over Memphis Northside was the team's 17th straight victory.
  I commend Riverdale High School principal Tom Nolan, Lady Warriors 
head coach Michael Burt and assistant coaches Brianne Dodgen, Tisha 
Hayes, Jamey Arnold and Cuyler Lanier.
  I extend my congratulations to the 2006-2007 AAA State Champion Lady 
Warriors: Anne Marie Lanning, Alex Bivens, Jessica Whitens, Nikki 
Talley, Shellina Burgess, Morgann Swoape, Clarke Davis, Hillary Grider, 
Payton Dickinson, Candace Spurlock, Rachel Orman, Natalie Lanning and 
Manager Jackie Donovan.
