 CONGRATULATING GOOSE ISLAND AND BISHOP ENGLAND GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAMS

  (Mr. CUNNINGHAM asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CUNNINGHAM. Madam Speaker, today I rise to acknowledge the 
remarkable accomplishments of both the Bishop England High School girls 
basketball team and the Goose Creek High School girls basketball team, 
who are South Carolina's State champs in the class AAA and AAAAA, 
respectively.
  The Lady Gators rallied from behind to defeat Spring Valley with just 
seconds left in the game. Senior Mary Davis scored two free throw 
points to send the Goose Creek girls ahead. And then, with less than 
half a second on the clock, Shayla Nelson swatted a last-second attempt 
to defeat them.
  The very next day, the Lady Bishops beat Keenan High School for their 
sixth state title in the last 8 years, captured on the front page of 
``The Post and Courier'' back home in Charleston.
  I would say that that makes for quite a sports dynasty. It was a 
great season for Lowcountry basketball. And as a former high school 
basketball player myself, I could not be more impressed and proud of 
the Bishop England and the Goose Creek girls basketball teams. Onward 
towards next season.
