    CONGRATULATING THE DELAWARE ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS' VARSITY 
                            BASKETBALL TEAM

  (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, I rise today to recognize, along with my 
colleague Congressman  John Faso, an outstanding group of young women 
from Delaware Academy in Delhi, New York. The Delaware Academy Girls' 
Varsity Basketball team won this year's New York State Class D 
Basketball Championship. It was an intense game with a last 3-point 
shot from Logan Bruce that carried the team into overtime.
  The game finally ended in the first overtime with Delaware defeating 
Franklinville with a score of 54-51. This is Delaware Academy's first 
basketball State title and the first State title in any of the women's 
and girls' sports. The Delaware team, known as the Bulldogs, has 14 
superior talented athletes:
  First, the three-point shot, which was made by Logan Bruce, Olivia 
Wakin, Kaitlyn Finch, Brenna Gioffe, Julia Burns, Aileen Nealis, Hannah 
Baxter, Anna Post, Reagan Bracchy, Meredith Mable, Caroline Grace, 
Cella Schnabel, Sophia Wakin, and eighth grader Sylvia Liddle.
  Mr. Speaker, I just wanted to have my colleagues join me in 
congratulating this outstanding, talented group of women and their 
coaches: Todd Bruce, A.J. Mucciaro, and Tom Gliddon, on becoming New 
York State champions for the first time.
  As a former starting center for my high school girls' basketball 
team, I am just so proud to say: Go, Bulldogs.
