CARDINAL O'HARA LADY LIONS CAPTURE SCHOOL'S FIRST-EVER STATE BASKETBALL 
                                 TITLE

  Ms. SCANLON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the Cardinal 
O'Hara Lady Lions basketball team, which recently won the PIAA class 5A

girls championship, securing their first-ever State basketball title.
  On March 27, the team defeated the defending champion, Chartiers 
Valley, 51-27, led by junior Sydni Scott's game-high 16 points.
  The victory made history on several fronts. Not only was this the 
school's first State basketball championship, but it also marked just 
the third time a mother-daughter duo has won a PIAA state title, with 
Coach Chrissie Doogan at the helm and her daughter Maggie playing 
forward. O'Hara's win also gave the Philadelphia Catholic League the 
distinction of becoming the first league to win three straight girls' 
titles in the same year.
  The young women of Cardinal O'Hara are an inspiration to our Delaware 
Valley community. Congratulations to the entire Lady Lions basketball 
team. Keep making HERstory.
