                         Tuesday, May 12, 2009

  Mr. PATRICK J. MURPHY of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
honor Dalton Pepper, a member of the Pennsbury High School boys' 
basketball team and 2009 Pennsylvania player of the year. Dalton has 
excelled as a student athlete in Bucks County, and I am eager to see 
him continue that legacy next year at West Virginia University.
  Dalton's hard work and dedication led him and his teammates to four 
straight undefeated league championships and into their fourth PIAA 
AAAA State playoff. He was recently named The Associated Press' 2009 
Pennsylvania Class AAAA boy's basketball player of the year.
  These performances earned Dalton a position on the Pennsylvania all-
state team. His high school career record of 2,207 points, nearly 1,000 
rebounds and a 104-20 record is an extraordinary accomplishment.
  The recognition and awards Dalton has received throughout his high 
school basketball career are no small feat. For his leadership and 
determination, he has gained respect from

his coaches and teammates, not to mention the admiration of our 
community, which has cheered him along throughout his career.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that you join me in recognizing Dalton Pepper 
for his hard work and dedication to the Pennsbury High School boys' 
basketball team--he sets an example for student athletes everywhere and 
I am proud to represent him.
