                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 25, 2014

  Mr. HENSARLING. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to recognize the 
outstanding achievement of the Trinity Valley Community College Lady 
Cardinals as the 2014 National Junior College Athletics Association 
(NJCAA) Division I Women's Basketball Champions. This marks the 3rd 
consecutive NJCAA Championship for the Lady Cardinals, a new NJCAA 
Division 1 record.
   In a 65 to 46 victory, the Lady Cardinals closed out their season 
with a 35-1 record. The success enjoyed by the team is truly remarkable 
and a testament to the hard work and dedication of its players as well 
as Head Coach Elena Lovato, Assistant Coaches Gerald Ewing and Spencer 
Robertson, and Team Manager Scott Pellegrin. Trinity Valley Community 
College President Dr. Glendon Forgey, faculty, staff, and students are 
also to be commended for TVCC's success both on the court and in the 
classroom.
   In addition to the record breaking team performance of the Lady 
Cardinals this season, I also want to recognize Adut Bulgak for being 
named the tournament's Most Valuable Player, and Coach Lovato being 
named ``Coach of the Tournament.''
   Trinity Valley Community College Lady Cardinals include: Adut 
Bulgak, Roddricka Patton, Shlonte' Allen, Jazmine Spears, Julianne 
Anchling, Kuaneshia Baker, Deborah Meeks, Sylvia Smith-Gatson, Leashja 
Grant, Kyhonta Doughty, Autummn Williams, and Dominique Brooks.
   On behalf of the citizens of Athens and the Fifth District of Texas, 
I am honored to be able to recognize the Lady Cardinals in the United 
States House of Representatives.
