        CONGRATULATING THE ALIQUIPPA QUIPS FOR A PERFECT SEASON

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. KEITH J. ROTHFUS

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 22, 2016

  Mr. ROTHFUS. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize the Aliquippa Quips boys 
basketball team for claiming the PIAA Class AA title after an 
undefeated season with a perfect 30-0 record. Their extraordinary 
accomplishment makes the entire community proud.
   It is history in the making. They're only the 13th WPIAL team to 
ever win a state basketball title with a perfect record, and the 33rd 
undefeated boys basketball state champion. This is Aliquippa's first 
state title since 1997, and their first undefeated state championship 
since 1949.
   Athletics endow young people with many of the virtues and skills 
they will need to succeed not only on the court, but in every other 
endeavor. These young men are being rewarded for their hard work, 
dedication, athleticism, and team unity.

   I wish the seniors luck in their future endeavors, and I extend my 
best wishes to the coaches and the team for another outstanding season 
next year.
