             CONGRATULATING CARUTHERS GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM

  (Mr. COX of California asked and was given permission to address the 
House for one minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COX of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the 
Caruthers girls basketball team, our CIF Division V State Basketball 
Champions.
  On Friday afternoon, despite playing a school with roughly four times 
the

enrollment, our Blue Raiders rolled to an impressive 62 to 38 victory 
over Ramona-Riverside.
  Friday's victory is a testament that hard work, practice, and 
teamwork is a recipe for success in any arena.
  Coach Almeida put it best when she said her girls are, ``Winners by 
nature. They're fighters and tough and never give up.''
  I am proud to represent: Anna Marshall, Eshnoor Gasoj, Felicia 
Ramirez, Jacklyn Kulow, Kathleen Duran, Destiny Giles, Jennyfer Balino, 
Paige Sterling, Aileen Cortez, Elvis Ponce, Jaque Magana, Malia Ishii, 
Mikayla Duran, and Jasmine Torres.
  I am excited to see their future victories and the success I know 
they will continue to have on the court and in life.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the Blue Raiders, 
our Division V California State Basketball Champions.
