                         Wednesday, May 4, 2011

  Mr. DAVID SCOTT of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I stand before you today to 
honor the Clayton State University Women's Basketball Team for winning 
the 2011 NCAA Division II National Championship. The Lady Lakers 
defeated the Michigan Tech Huskies 69-50 in a game that gave Clayton 
State its first national championship. Clayton State ended the season 
with a 53-1 record and the number one ranking in the USA Today/ESPN 
Division II Coaches' Poll.
  These young women have demonstrated a tremendous amount of hard work, 
perseverance and sportsmanship. There is no doubt that this team will 
serve as excellent role models for young women and future athletes 
everywhere.
  Coach Dennis Cox also deserves to be recognized for his critical role 
in leading Clayton State to victory. He was recently named the 2011 
Schelde North America/Division II Bulletin Coach of the Year and the 
Women's Basketball Coaches Association Coach of the Year.
  My fellow colleagues please join me in honoring Coach Cox and the 
Clayton State Lady Lakers for an outstanding year.
