                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 18, 2021

  Mr. FITZGERALD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Hustisford Falcons High School boys' basketball team for their record 
breaking and historic win at the Division 5 state championship earlier 
this month.
  The Falcons convincingly delivered the program's first-ever state 
championship title. They kicked it off with a 26-5 run over the game's 
opening 13 minutes and cruised to a 69-35 victory at the final buzzer. 
When all was said and done, the Falcons finished the game with 11 
blocks against the Macks, setting a new record, and finished the entire 
tournament with 15 blocked shots, breaking yet another state tournament 
record. This is a game that is sure to go down in the program's history 
books, each player should be very proud of themselves.
  Hustisford is my very own alma mater and I'm proud of these young men 
on their victory. I applaud Coach Hopfinger and the entire team for 
bringing home the first-ever gold ball to add to the school's trophy 
case. This team has overcome many obstacles in the face of the COVID-19 
pandemic, but they persevered and brought home impressive hardware to 
show for it. Congratulations to the Falcons for their hard work all 
season. This achievement is well deserved.
