         HONORING ROCK BRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM

  (Mrs. HARTZLER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. HARTZLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the Rock Bridge High 
School Bruins boys basketball team of Columbia, Missouri, for winning 
the Missouri State Championship Class 5 Basketball Championship in 
Springfield.
  In winning the school's first boys basketball state title, the Bruins 
exhibited a never-say-die attitude, staging a comeback after being down 
by eight points heading into the final quarter against Christian 
Brothers College High School.
  The Bruins came close last year, bowing out in the semi-finals, but 
this year's team would not be denied.
  The long hours of practice paid off, as Rock Bridge came roaring back 
in the final quarter to win 63-59 and bring home the championship.
  This season finale is a testament to the great coaching of Jim 
Scanlon and the dedication and hard work of all the players, whose 
determination and teamwork brought home the victory.
  So congratulations to the Rock Bridge High School Bruins, state 
champs from Missouri's Fourth District. We are proud of you and we wish 
you continued success.
