          THE MANVEL LADY MAVERICKS--TEXAS 5A STATE CHAMPIONS

  (Mr. OLSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, 1 week ago, I stood in the parking lot of 
Manvel High School waiting. A few minutes before 4 p.m., the Texas 
women's 5A State champs came home.
  To win State, the Manvel Lady Mavericks had to go through a door 
blocked by the two-time defending State champion, the Duncanville 
Panthers. In November, the Lady Mavs knocked on the Panthers' door. It 
didn't open. For three quarters in the State championships, they banged 
on the Panthers' door. It didn't budge. But in the last quarter, the 
Lady Mavs kicked that son of a gun opened and walked through to become 
the State 5A champs.
  As we say in Manvel: Hoka hey, champs, hoka hey.
