                        Thursday, March 9, 2023

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Spring Garden High School girls' basketball team for winning the AHSAA 
Class A state title.
  On March 3, 2023, the Lady Panthers played fast, leaving no doubt as 
to who deserves to be state champion, beating Marion County 62 to 39 to 
secure their title win. The game was played at BJCC's Legacy Arena in 
Birmingham, Alabama.
  The Lady Panthers finished their championship season 36-1. This was 
head coach Ricky Austin's 7th state championship and the Lady Panthers' 
8th basketball state title in school history.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Coach Austin, the 
Spring Garden High School Lady Panthers' basketball team, students, 
faculty and all the fans. Go Panthers.
