RECOGNIZING TALENTED ALL-AMERICAN GAMES WOMEN BASKETBALL PLAYERS
(Mr. WALTZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. WALTZ. Mr. Speaker, today I want to recognize three talented high
school basketball players in my district, Khadija Faye, Tiera White,
and Brianna Ellis.
Khadija and Tiera play basketball at Father Lopez High School in
Daytona Beach, and Brianna plays basketball at Flagler Palm Coast High
School in Palm Coast, Florida. All three of these young women have just
been nominated to play in the 2020 All-American Games, a national
basketball competition benefiting the Ronald McDonald charities. They
were among 46 seniors from Florida to be selected for this honor.
Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize their hard work and talent
on the House floor today. The final roster will be announced next week,
and we are all hoping all three will be on it.
I know I speak on behalf of all of us when I say we are so proud and
so excited to see Daytona and Palm Coast represented so well in women's
basketball.
