CONGRATULATING THE ALLEGHANY HIGH SCHOOL LADY TROJAN VARSITY VOLLEYBALL 
                                  TEAM

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize the Alleghany High 
School volleyball team, which recently won the North Carolina 1A State 
championship. It is the first NCHSAA State championship in the 
program's history.
  Coach Debbie Weaver led the Lady Trojans on their winning campaign. 
The nine seniors on the team, including MVP Jade Shepherd, have been 
playing together since fifth grade, and it showed in their performance. 
They won three out of four games to defeat the defending State champion 
Princeton Bulldogs.
  Mr. Speaker, I had the opportunity to meet these young ladies at the 
annual Christmas parade in Sparta. It is clear that everyone in 
Alleghany County is proud of the teamwork, dedication, and perseverance 
they exhibited on the way to this great achievement.
  I commend these young athletes and congratulate them on a job well 
done.
