  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Walnut Grove 
High School Lady Tigers Basketball Team for winning the Missouri Class 
1 Girls State Championship.
  The Lady Tigers clinched back-to-back state championships after 
defeating North Andrew with an impressive final score of 84-49. Members 
of the team include Heather Harman, Lexi Harman, Madisyn Freeze, Karsyn 
Hejna, Miranda Allison, Megan Shuler, Audree Crain, Ellen Hayter, 
Raylie Hejna, Shelby Harman, Carrigan Comstock, Mikayla Louderbaugh, 
and Katelynn Garoutte.
  Through their hard work and discipline on and off the court, the Lady 
Tigers developed into a truly great championship team. The Lady Tigers 
ended the season 28-4.
  I also want to commend Head Coach Rory Henry for a job well-done on 
developing such a strong basketball program.
  I am proud to recognize the school and the players on their victory, 
and applaud the hard work that has brought them so much success. I urge 
my colleagues to join me in congratulating the Walnut Grove Lady Tigers 
as they celebrate their Class 1 Girls State Championship.
