                   CONGRATULATING DUNBAR HIGH SCHOOL

  (Mr. VEASEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate Dunbar High School 
for its recent advancement to the UIL 5A Texas State basketball 
tournament.
  Dunbar High School has been recognized throughout the years for both 
its academic and athletic achievements, with the fine Wildcats' 
basketball success being the latest. The Wildcats were led by Coach 
Robert Hughes, Jr., and they fought their way all the way to the State 
tournament in San Antonio, Texas. The team entered unranked and as one 
of only two qualifiers that were unranked.
  Dunbar, a three-time champion, is no stranger to big games, with 
their last trip being in 2007. They won the UIL State Basketball 
Championship in 1963, 1965, 1967, 1993, 2003, and 2006. Back in the 
sixties and early nineties, they were under the leadership of Coach 
Robert Hughes, Sr.
  Today I am proud to recognize the success of Dunbar High School's 
basketball team and their outstanding 23-12 record. They have made Fort 
Worth very proud, and I wish the program continued success.
