    RECOGNIZING THE PRINCESS ANNE HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. JENNIFER A. KIGGANS

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 17, 2023

  Mrs. KIGGANS of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate 
the Princess Anne High School girls' basketball team on winning the 
Class Five Virginia State Championship. Last year, the Princess Anne 
Cavaliers came up just short of the same title, pausing their 
impressive eight season winning streak. But that loss clearly only 
motivated the Cavaliers, as they went on to boast an impressive 26-1 
season this past March to win the State Championship.
  In an exciting back and forth game, the Cavaliers would go on to 
defeat L.C. Bird High School 53 to 45. Led by Zakiya Stephenson, who 
scored a remarkable 24 points, and of course a strong defense, these 
girls showed that with hard work and an incredible team, anything is 
truly possible.
  As a female athlete myself, I want each of the young women to know 
that Virginia's 2nd District is extremely proud of their accomplishment 
and applauds them on their well-earned victory. Again, congratulations 
to the 2023 Princess Anne High School girls' basketball team on winning 
the 13th state championship in their school's history.
