                        Tuesday, April 25, 2023

  Mr. NUNN of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Grand View 
Christian Thunder boys high school basketball team for winning the 
Class 1A Basketball State Championship beating the Troy Mills North 
Linn Lynx.
  An exciting game from the beginning, as Troy Mills North Linn led 
until right before the halftime when the Thunder pulled ahead by a slim 
margin.
  After halftime and a solid third quarter, the Grand View Christian 
Thunder took the lead by double digits heading into the fourth quarter,
  The game was not over yet, however, as the Thunder kept in stride and 
outscored the Lynx 12-8 in the final quarter and clinched the 
championship.
  GVC ended with a 63-46 victory to claim their fourth state 
championship.
  I want to congratulate Grand View Christian Thunder high school boys 
basketball team for their perseverance, athleticism, and grit to get 
the job done.
  I also want to congratulate the coaches, staff, and parents who are 
all a part of this win.
  Everyone in Des Moines is proud of their win.

                          ____________________
