           HONORING THE JEANNETTE HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL TEAM

  (Mr. TIM MURPHY of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. TIM MURPHY of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, on Saturday, March 15, 
the Jeannette High School basketball team from my district won the 
State's Class AA championship. The Jeannette Jayhawks became the second 
high school in all of Pennsylvania history to reach the achievement of 
winning both the state basketball and state football championships. Led 
by players Terrelle Pryor, Shaw Sunder, and Jordan Hall, and Coach Jim 
Nesser, the Jayhawks won a game that will go down as one of the best in 
PIAA history and cap a remarkable season in which the team went 25-4.
  This is a great accomplishment for a small school district in 
southwestern Pennsylvania which has excelled in the classroom. McKee 
Elementary was named a Blue Ribbon school, and all the district's 
schools received the Keystone Achievement Recognition this year, with 
the school district getting the bronze medal.
  Congratulations to the entire Jeannette school district and to the 
entire Jeannette community.
