                         Thursday, May 8, 2008

  Mr. BRALEY of Iowa. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
outstanding results achieved by the NU High School Boys Basketball team 
at the Iowa State Boys Basketball tournament in Des Moines this past 
winter.
  The last quarter would see five lead changes with the last lead 
change coming with two minutes left in the game. Travis Ellerbroek hit 
an NBA range three-pointer to take the lead for the final time and win 
the class 1A State boys basketball title.
  I congratulate the Panthers for winning the Iowa Class 1A State 
championship. This exciting victory is the first for Coach Paul Elser 
who wrapped up his first season with the Panthers.
  Madam Speaker, I am extremely proud of the accomplishments of the 
Panther boys basketball team, both on and off court, and I am proud to 
serve them in Congress.
