                        Tuesday, April 25, 2023

  Mr. NUNN of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dallas 
Center-Grimes Girls Basketball for winning the Class 4A Basketball 
State Championship beating the North Polk Comets.
  I congratulate the DCG ladies on achieving the first state title in 
program history.
  The Mustang ladies showed up to play, coming into the championship 
game with second-rank defense in 4A state basketball.
  Their strategy of defense and excellent teamwork kept them leading 
till the surge by the Comets in the fourth quarter.
  With 18 seconds left on the clock and a tied-up game of 46-46, the 
game went into overtime.
  With Mustangs forceful defense, they held off the Comets in overtime 
and led to their victory of 57-50.
  What a victory for the ladies and a phenomenal way to wrap the 
season.
  Iowa is so proud of every player, coach, staff, and parent.
