CONGRATULATING PERKINS COUNTY PLAINSMEN ON WINNING CLASS C-2B NEBRASKA 
                      GIRLS BASKETBALL STATE TITLE

                                 ______

                              of nebraska

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 10, 2008

  Mr. SMITH of Nebraska. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
the Perkins County Plainsmen on their 62 to 49 victory over Sutton to 
take the Class C-2B Nebraska Girls Basketball State Title on March 1, 
2008. They embody the spirit of teamwork, determination, and heart, 
which champions display.
  They finished the season unbeaten, but definitely not untested. 
Sutton, who allowed an average of just 35 points a game this season, 
gave the Plainsmen all they could handle, but came up short.
  So, it is with a sense of pride that I congratulate the Perkins 
County Plainsmen girls' basketball team on winning this championship. 
This victory is the result of months and years of hard work by the 
players, students, and their coaches.
