  Mr. KIM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the Moorestown High 
School Quakers boys' basketball team, who on Sunday won the Group 3 
State Championship for the first time in 60 years.
  Led by 2018 Burlington County Coach of the Year, Shawn Anstey, and a 
strong roster from starters to reserves, the Quakers showed incredible 
teamwork and perseverance all season. From clutch shooting, to diving 
for loose

balls and making hustle plays, the team's balance and focus helped them 
play through a tough schedule to bring home the school's first state 
championship since 1959.
  In the State Final, Moorestown's strong fundamentals and a focus on 
doing the little things right helped propel them to victory: they shot 
well from the free-throw line late in the game to secure the title. The 
Quakers played through pressure in the final to finish the season on a 
14-game winning streak, ending the year at 27-5.
  I'm proud to be able to celebrate the success of some of the talented 
student-athletes from my district in New Jersey. I want to congratulate 
Coach Anstey and the Moorestown boys on their tremendous season and 
wish them luck in the Tournament of Champions.
