RECOGNIZING THE CUMBERLAND VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM
(Mr. PERRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to recognize the 2015 Cumberland
Valley High School girls basketball team for winning its second
straight Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association AAAA title.
The Eagles earned an incredible 32-1 record and were the Mid Penn and
District 3 Champions as well. Incredibly, this was their third State
final appearance in a row.
Mr. Speaker, if you are looking for a reason for this incredible run
of success, I need only point you to the Cumberland Valley girls
basketball vision statement, which states that this program ``provides
a setting for girls to prepare for the `game of life' through the
teaching of hard work, cooperation, responsibility, leadership,
discipline, sportsmanship, and other essential life skills.''
The team, by its hard, unselfish play and exemplary court behavior,
is a source of great pride for both the school and community.
Pennsylvania's Fourth Congressional District is thrilled with and so
proud of these fine young women. I offer my heartfelt congratulations
to the team, coaches, families, and supporters for this exceptional
accomplishment.
