                     RECOGNIZING MORTON HIGH SCHOOL

  (Mr. LaHOOD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaHOOD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Morton High 
School in Morton, Illinois.
  At Morton, classes past and present have achieved tremendous success 
and a legacy of excellence carried on by the students that followed 
them.
  As the Morton High School athletics department has grown, so has the 
prominence of their girls' basketball team, known as the Lady Potters. 
In an unprecedented record of success in eight seasons from 2015 to 
2022, the Lady Potters won four Illinois State championships, three in 
succession. In that time, they have won 244 games and only lost 23.
  Coach Bob Becker has been awarded Coach of the Year multiple times by 
the Illinois High School Association and was named to the Illinois 
Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame in 2020. This year, the class of 1972 
also celebrates their 50th anniversary as graduates of Morton High 
School.
  Morton continues to honor the legacy of the classes before them and 
their tremendous achievements throughout the year. Congratulations to 
classes past and present of Morton High School. The school pride is 
worthy of celebration. Keep up the great work, Potters.
