  Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 
Lancaster High School varsity boys basketball team's Class 1 State 
Championship.
  On Friday, March 10, the Red Devil varsity boys basketball team ended 
their season with a perfect record of 29-0, defeating George Wythe High 
School 62-40 in a hard-fought championship game. The Red Devils were 
not only perfect but dominant throughout the entire season, winning 
every game by double-digits. This championship is the crowning 
achievement to an incredible season and calls for celebration.
  I would like to recognize Head Coach Dwayne Pinn, who developed the 
team's winning culture over many years, having coached many of the 
young men since they were in fourth grade. Next, I would like to 
recognize the student-athletes: Terrill Diggs, Antavion Thomas, Gerrion 
Owens, Branndonn Wade, Lamar Mattocks, Tyson Henderson, Darius Smith, 
Daveon Smith, Kelvin Davis, Sean Thomas, Jeremy Smith, Troy Henderson, 
Jaquarrias Morris, Tylil Walters, and X'Zaveion Owens.
  And finally, I would like to recognize the assistant coaches: Derrick 
Henderson, Troy Henderson, Eddie Hall, Jovante Smith, Mark Saunders; 
the athletic director, Dave Zeiler; the cheerleading advisor, Nikki 
Kelley; the principal, Mary Catherine Jones; and the superintendent, 
Jessica Davis.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in recognizing the accomplishments 
and hard work of the student-athletes, coaches, and volunteers of 
Lancaster High School's varsity boys basketball program. I look forward 
to seeing their continued excellence on the court.
