                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 14, 2008

  Mr. WALSH of New York. Madam Speaker, I rise today in tribute to the 
Jamesville-Dewitt Basketball Team, 2008 Class A Champions. The 
Jamesville-Dewitt Red Rams defeated the East Hampton Bonackers by a 
score of 78-54, earning Jamesville-Dewitt their third New York State 
Boys Basketball Championship title.
  I had the pleasure of watching J-D play in the Sectional Finals in 
Syracuse. They are remarkably talented, deep, and well coached. They 
clearly understand the concept of team basketball.
  On behalf of the people of New York's 25th Congressional District, I 
congratulate these young men on their outstanding athletic achievement, 
and praise Head Coach Bob McKenney and Assistant Coach Brock Elmore on 
their team's success. I look forward to another exciting year when the 
Red Rams take court to defend their title in 2009.
  Mickey Davis, Tacari Davis, Zach Firestone, Mitchell Howe, Alshwan 
Hymes, Lamar Kearse, Jon Lee, Antoine Mitchell, Nick Pascale, Dan 
Piciucco, Nathan Scholl-Hess, John Sheedy, Greg Stern, Brandon Triche, 
Mychal Weekes, Marcus Williams
