                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 25, 2019

  Mr. LaHOOD. Madam Speaker, today, I would like to recognize Morton, 
Illinois' Morton High School girls basketball team on winning the 2019 
Class 3A state title.
  Returning yet again to the state championship finals, the Lady 
Potters capped off the 33-3 season with a 35-21 win over Glen Ellyn 
Glenbard South. In a game where Morton took a dominating stance early 
on, the Potters began the tilt with a 15-0 run. Over the course of the 
game, the Morton Lady Potters had an amazing team effort on both 
offense and defense.
  The Morton girls basketball team has now brought home their fourth 
Class 3A state title in five years. Morton's continued success on the 
hardwood is a testament to the leadership of Coach Bob Becker and the 
determination of the young women he coaches.
  The Morton girls basketball team serves as a reminder to the people 
of our community that when we believe in ourselves and dedicate our 
time and effort to the goals that we set, we can achieve even the most 
daring outcomes. These young women exemplify the strong work ethic 
rooted in Central Illinois and we could not be prouder. Again, 
Congratulations to Coach Bob Becker and the Morton girls basketball 
team for their remarkable state championship win.

                          ____________________
