RECOGNIZING ALIYAH BOSTON
(Ms. PLASKETT asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. PLASKETT. Mr. Speaker, today, I congratulate Virgin Islander
Aliyah
[[Page H4161]]
Boston, a college basketball player for the South Carolina Gamecocks,
on her win against UConn in the NCAA championship, leading the
Gamecocks to their second national championship.
Aliyah was also named the Wade Trophy winner, AP Women's College
Basketball Player of the Year, Naismith Defensive Player of the Year,
as well as the Women's National Player of the Year.
Go ahead, Aliyah. Thirty consecutive double-doubles.
Her love for basketball was inspired by her sister, nurtured by her
mother and father, the sacrifices that they have made and that she has
made to be the player that she is.
Hats off to her. We love her. The Virgin Islands is rooting for her
next year and every year to come.
