                        GARDNER-WEBB UNIVERSITY

  (Mr. McHENRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. McHENRY. Mr. Speaker, what a proud day for the Bulldogs of 
Gardner-Webb University.
  My constituents, the Bulldogs, defeated the seven-time national 
champs Kentucky Wildcats in basketball just the other night by 18 
points. Gardner-Webb University, a school of 4,000 students located in 
Boiling Springs, North Carolina, in my district, showed no fear in 
front of 23,000 cheering and hostile Wildcat fans in Kentucky's famed 
Rupp Arena. What a great night.
  I come to the floor to congratulate Gardner-Webb University; the 
basketball team at Gardner-Webb University; the Bulldogs, generally 
speaking, the great students there at Gardner-Webb; and the president 
of the college, Frank Bonner; as well as the coach, Rick Scruggs, for 
their momentous basketball victory.
  Let me tell you something. The Bulldogs have proven once again that 
with enough hard work and dedication, any obstacle can be overcome. And 
it also proves that no basketball team from North Carolina is ever 
really the underdog.
  With that, I congratulate the Bulldogs. I congratulate Gardner-Webb 
University and the great basketball team and the students that they 
have.
