                         Wednesday, May 4, 2011

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Marcus High 
School in Flower Mound, Texas. The Marcus varsity boys' basketball team 
won the 5A UIL State Championship. The Marcus Marauders beat Garland 
Lakeview, 40-38, in the final to finish the season 39-1. Led by Head 
Coach Danny Henderson, these young men are exemplary representatives of 
their school and should be very proud of what they have accomplished.
  This is not the first time I have had the pleasure of highlighting 
the accomplishments of Marcus High School, and I have a sneaking 
suspicion that it will not be the last. With the level of teamwork and 
perseverance that is present in this North Texas high school, it is no 
wonder that they are an ``Exemplary Campus''.
  It is inspiring to recognize such ambitious young student athletes 
who are making a positive impact in our community. I am pleased to have 
the opportunity to represent these young men, and their classmates and 
teachers in the U.S. House of Representatives. Congratulations on being 
the 5A UIL Boys Basketball State Champions.
