         RECOGNIZING NOTRE DAME ACADEMY'S GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. MIKE GALLAGHER

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 19, 2023

  Mr. GALLAGHER. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize the Notre Dame 
Academy Girls Basketball Team for winning the 2023 WIAA Division 2 
State Championship.
  Achieving the title of State Champion is a testament to the 
unwavering dedication and hard work that the coaches and players 
display every day throughout the season. After beating No. 3 ranked 
McFarland in the semi-finals the Tritons advanced to the finals where 
they faced No. 1 ranked Pewaukee who handed them their only defeat of 
the season. The Notre Dame Girls Basketball Team dominated with their 
strong offense capturing the state title over Pewaukee in the 
Championship game with a 64-49 win at the Resch Center.
  I applaud Coach Sara Rhode and the entire Lady Triton team for their 
outstanding performance during the 2023 Girls basketball season. 
Winning one golden ball much less three in a row is a feat that you and 
the entire Notre Dame community should be incredibly proud of.
  Following years of hard work, the Notre Dame Girls Basketball Team 
has left a remarkable legacy that will be remembered by the Green Bay 
community for years to come. The team won their third consecutive 
Division 2 state title while also setting a WIAA record for the most 
points scored in the State Tournament. It is quite evident that the 
Notre Dame Girls Basketball Team has become a powerhouse in Division 2 
throughout the years securing titles in 2000, 2012, 2013, 2020, 2021, 
and 2022.
  Mr. Speaker, I extend my sincerest congratulations to the entire Lady 
Triton coaching staff and team for their outstanding display at the 
2023 Division 2 State Girls Basketball Tournament. It is my honor to 
recognize these young women and I wish them nothing but the best for 
seasons to come.
