  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate high school 
student Cassidy Nussman for being named to the 2014 Texas Girls Coaches 
Association (TGCA) Class 6A all-state and academic all-state volleyball 
teams. Nussman is a senior at Pearland High School in Pearland, Texas. 
These prestigious awards recognize her hard work and exemplary 
performance as a scholar-athlete.
  Nussman earned a spot on the academic all-state team by maintaining a 
GPA of 3.9 or higher while competing on the court at an elite level 
throughout her high school career. She was also named an honorable 
mention selection on the Under Armour Girls High School All-America 
Team by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) and competed 
on the 2014 TGCA Blue All-Star team for Class 5A/6A as one of the 
division's top 12 college-bound players. She has committed to play 
volleyball for Northwestern University next year.
  On behalf of the residents of the Twenty-Second Congressional 
District of Texas, congratulations again to Cassidy Nussman for being 
named to the 2014 Texas Girls Coaches Association (TGCA) Class 6A all-
state and academic all-state volleyball teams. We look forward to her 
continued success both on and off the court.
