  Mr. LONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Crane High 
School Lady Pirates Basketball Team for winning the Missouri Class 2 
Girls State Championship.
  The Lady Pirates clinched back to back state championships after 
defeating the Skyline Lady Tigers with a final score of 67-52. Members 
of the team include Allie Hagler, Lexie Vaught, Kylee Moore, Kylie 
Vaught, Justeen Mahan, Shelby Roder, Riley Israel, Emma Lander, Karen 
Belin, Loni Johnson, Jalee Johnson, Addie Reel, Hailey Powell, Jenna 
Scroggins, Madison Fulp, and Tabitha Bishop.
  Through their hard work and excellence on and off the court, the Lady 
Pirates developed into a truly great championship team. The Lady 
Pirates ended the season 30-1, remaining undefeated in their Class 2 
division.
  I also want to commend Head Coach Jeremy Mullins and Assistant Coach 
Billy Redus for a job well-done on developing such a strong basketball 
program.
  The Crane community is justifiably proud of this extraordinary group 
of young and talented student-athletes. I urge my colleagues to join me 
in congratulating the Crane Lady Pirates as they celebrate their Class 
2 Girls State Championship.
