  Mr. HIGGINS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the accomplishments 
of the Cassadaga Valley girls and boys basketball teams. Both teams 
played with distinction this season, meeting various challenges and 
contributing with their talents both as a team and individually.
  I would like to acknowledge girl's team players Casey Mathers, most 
improved player; Kari Barmore, co-most valuable player and rebounding 
award and scholar-athlete award winner; Jenna Beichner, co-most 
valuable player; and Jennifer Zanghi, receiving the defensive award.
  I must also acknowledge boy's team players Kevin Watson, earning the 
distinction of most valuable player and Bob Zanghi earning the most 
improved player and scholar-athlete awards.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in congratulating the great 
successes of both of these teams, both acknowledged by the NYSPHSAA as 
deserving of the Scholar-Athlete Team Award. It is a pleasure to honor 
this fine young athletes here today.
