                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. BRUCE L. BRALEY

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 8, 2008

  Mr. BRALEY of Iowa. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
outstanding results achieved by the Wapsie Valley Warriors volleyball 
team at the State volleyball tournament in Cedar Rapids this past fall.
  Wapsie Valley and Holy Trinity were tied at two games apiece going 
into the final match. With the game tied at 12, Wapsie Valley got a big 
hit from Carly Wehling and a tip by Eryca Hingtgen to get a match point 
at 14-12. Holy Trinity fought off the match point with a spike, but 
Wehling finished out the game with her 13th and final kill of the 
match.
  The third ranked Wapsie Valley (39-1) won the first two games and 
withstood a Holy Trinity comeback to earn a 27-25, 26-24, 22-25, 20-25, 
15-13 victory and their second straight Class 1A State volleyball 
championship. I congratulate the Warriors on their hard fought victory.
  Madam Speaker, I am extremely proud of the accomplishments of the 
Warrior volleyball team, both on and off the court, and I am proud to 
serve them in Congress.
