                         Tuesday, April 1, 2014

  Mr. TIPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Sanford High 
School men's basketball team and their coach, Rhett Larsen. Sanford's 
Indians claimed their sixth Class 2A state basketball title, with their 
previous titles coming in 1950, 1951, 1978, 1996, and 2006.
   Sanford finished the season with a remarkable 26-1 record, capping 
it off with a championship win over Akron, 55-51 at the Colorado State 
University-Pueblo Massari Arena. The team made 17 free throws in the 
fourth quarter, making nine free throws in the final two minutes to 
clinch the victory.
   Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Sanford's basketball team and their 
extraordinary coach. Under Coach Laresn's expert guidance, I have no 
doubt that Sanford will win many more state titles. I look forward to 
this group of young men's future successes on and off the basketball 
court.
