                       Tuesday, February 27, 2018

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the 2018 IHSA Class 1A 
State Champions the Danville Schlarman High School Girls Basketball 
Team.
  The Lady Hilltoppers won the state title game 53-31 to cap off a 
season with a record of 31 wins and just one loss. Schlarman was led in 
scoring by Janiah Newell, Caprina Brown, and Anaya Peoples all scoring 
in double digits. But this was a team effort and team victory as the 
Hilltoppers were equally impressive on defense as they were on offense.
  I would like to congratulate the entire Danville Schlarman Girls 
Basketball Team on their victory and on a superb end to a great season: 
Anaya Peoples, Cece Damilano, Destiny Dye, Emma Bogen, Janiah Newell, 
McKaylee Allen, Suzet Sermensheim, Sydney Gouard, Tannah Ceader as well 
as Head Coach Keith Peoples.

the 2018 IHSA Class 1A State Title. I wish the team and their coach all 
the best in the future.
