            A SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO THE OTTAWA-GLANDORF TITANS

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT E. LATTA

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 23, 2013

  Mr. LATTA. Mr. Speaker, it is with a great deal of pride that I rise 
to pay a very special tribute to an outstanding high school basketball 
team in Ohio's Fifth Congressional District. The young men of the 
Ottawa-Glandorf High School boys basketball team have represented their 
school ably on their way to achieving the Division III State Boys 
Basketball Title.
  In their effort to surpass all other teams in the Division III State 
Basketball Playoffs, the Ottawa-Glandorf Titans overcame the challenges 
posed by intense competition.
  In pursuing the State Championship, the Ottawa-Glandorf Titans 
defeated the Versailles Tigers to win their third state basketball 
championship and make their sixth appearance at the state basketball 
tournament. In winning the Division III Boys Basketball State 
Championship, the members of this very special team have shown that 
their sport requires an individual effort for a team result. As a 
direct consequence of their hard work and dedication on and off the 
court, their accomplishment is truly outstanding.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in paying special tribute 
to the Ottawa-Glandorf High School boys basketball team. On behalf of 
the people of the Fifth District of Ohio, I am proud to recognize this 
great achievement.

                          ____________________
