                         Friday, April 1, 2011

  Mr. BUCSHON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Reitz 
Memorial High School Girls Basketball Team from Evansville, Indiana. On 
March 5, 2011, the Lady Tigers won the Indiana High School Athletic 
Association's Class 3A State Championship for the first time in school 
history. Today, I would like to congratulate Coach Bruce Dockery and 
the 16 young ladies for their success.
  After a regular season of 21 wins and only 1 loss, Coach Dockery led 
his #1 ranked team to the school's second appearance in the state 
finals in Fort Wayne, Indiana where it took a 58 to 50 overtime victory 
against #3 ranked Benton Central to bring home their first 
championship. I would also like to commend Coach David Baxter and his 
team for their exceptional season.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the Lady Tigers of Reitz 
Memorial High School for their hard work and dedication that culminated 
with a record of 28 wins and 1 loss in Coach Dockery's 23rd season and 
their first ever Indiana High School Athletic Association's Girls 
Basketball Title.
