NORWICH BOYS BASKETBALL SECTION 4 CHAMPIONS
(Ms. TENNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. TENNEY. Mr. Speaker, today I am honored to rise and recognize and
congratulate the new Section 4, Class B boys' basketball champions, the
Norwich Purple Tornadoes. The hard work, dedication, and sportsmanship
of these young men helped lead their team to claim the Section 4
victory for the second year in a row.
In the game against the Waverly Wolverines, senior forward Chris
Jeffrey scored 17 hard-fought points, taking Norwich into the second
half leading 18-17. In the final half, Norwich took the court by storm
to claim the title of Section 4 champion with a final score of 49-35.
On behalf of the 22nd District, congratulations to Norwich and Coach
Brian Collier on an outstanding win. We wish you luck in the State
quarterfinal on March 11 against the Section 3 champions.
