                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 9, 2009

  Mr. SHUSTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the accomplishments 
of the Bishop Guilfoyle High School girls basketball team of Altoona, 
PA. As the 2009 Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association Class 
A girls basketball champions, the Lady Marauders have shown the 
discipline and teamwork required to achieve greatness.
  The Lady Marauders have a rich history of achievement. Having won two 
PIAA Class A championships in three seasons, and five overall, the Lady 
Marauders are no strangers to success. Their season's record of 30-1 is 
tied for the second most in a single season in Lady Marauder program 
history.
  This year's season came to a close on March 21st at University Park, 
PA, and resulted in a 49-27 defeat of Nativity BMV by Bishop 
Guilfoyle's Lady Marauders. The hard work and talent of the nineteen 
players, as well as their five coaches, most certainly led to this 
rewarding experience.
  These young women are exemplary athletes and their pride in their 
performance is an inspiration to all of Blair County. I believe that 
this championship will be one of many successes in the lives of these 
talented players and coaches, and I congratulate them for all their 
efforts.
