            CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEW CASTLE RED HURRICANES

  (Mr. KELLY of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. KELLY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I am here today to offer 
congratulations to the New Castle Red Hurricanes for winning their 
first-ever Pennsylvania AAAA State championship, with an undefeated 31-
0 record.
  The 'Canes pulled this off with a 52-39 victory over Philadelphia's 
La Salle College High School 2 weeks ago in Hershey, Pennsylvania, 
making them only the fourth undefeated Pennsylvania class AAAA boys' 
basketball champions in State history.
  I send a special congratulations to the players' families, as well as 
head coach Ralph Blundo and New Castle superintendent John Sarandrea.
  According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the day after the 'Canes 
won, Coach Blundo told a group of kindergartners that the 'Canes aren't 
special because they won the State championship.
  He says they are special because of their good grades and the fact 
that every one of his seniors are going to college next year. He says 
his players just do things the right way. I couldn't agree more. Go 
'Canes.
