 HONORING VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL BOYS' BASKETBALL FOR WINNING THE CLASS 4A 
                     BASKETBALL STATE CHAMPIONSHIP

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. ZACHARY NUNN

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 25, 2023

  Mr. NUNN of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Valley High 
School Boys Basketball of West Des Moines for winning the Class 4A 
Basketball State Championship beating the Waukee Northwest Wolves.
  Since 2018, the Valley Tigers had not been in the State Championship. 
However, when they showed up this year, they showed up to play.
  Making 80 percent of three pointers and nearly 70 percent of the 
shots taken, the Tigers were here to win.
  By outscoring and mastering the rebounding battle, they put up the 
points needed to maintain the lead.
  In the final 8 minutes of the game, the Wolves went for a comeback, 
but Valley was prepared.
  After a 4-year hiatus, the Tigers are Champions once again. The third 
state championship in the history of the school, and the second in the 
last seven years. Truly a monumental moment for the players, coach, 
staff, students, and parents.
  We are so proud of all of them and know how meaningful this win truly 
is.
