                        Wednesday, April 2, 2008

  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize the 
outstanding achievement of the Hamilton Hornets Girls High School 
Basketball team on defeating the Westran Hornets by a score of 46-39, 
to win the Class 2A girls' basketball state championship. The Hornets 
finished their incredible season by posting an unblemished record of 
32-0 this season in Class 2A girls' basketball. This team is the second 
team in the school's history to have an undefeated season.
  The Hornets consist of 15 remarkable young women, including Jordan 
Esry, Lacy Jones, Micah Brown, Taryn Bruce, Ashley Flook, Eileen 
Greenwood, Shelby Dickey, Carissa Conger, Brooke Flook, Lindsay 
Vollmer, Katie Jones, Emily Schieber, Angie Dalton, Katie Rasmussen and 
Kelsey Schieber.
  Also, I want to recognize the great leadership of the team, including 
Head Coach David Prather, who was assisted by Christy Prather and Sara 
Lasher. I also want to acknowledge the work of school administrators, 
Superintendent Steve Yost, Principal Tim Schieber, and Athletic 
Director Troy Ford, as additional keys to success.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in congratulating the achievement 
of the Hamilton Hornets Girls High School Basketball team on their 
perfect season and state championship. It is an honor to represent this 
team in the United States Congress.
