                       Wednesday, March 20, 2024

  Mr. SCOTT of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the 
Hampton High School Men's Basketball Team from Hampton, Virginia on 
becoming the Virginia High School League's Class 4 State Champions.
  On Friday, March 8, 2024, the Hampton Crabbers won the championship 
game against the Tuscarora Huskies with a score of 66-63. Led by Coach 
Eric Brown, the Crabbers won this title for the sixth time, the first 
since 2012. Hampton High School closed their season with a record of 26 
wins and 2 losses, maintaining a 16-game winning streak.
  Throughout the game, the Crabbers and Huskies fought for control of 
the court, with the Crabbers maintaining the lead. But victory for the 
Crabbers would not come easily, as the Huskies consistently chipped 
away at their lead. With 20 seconds left on the clock, senior Daron 
Baugh sank two free-throws to give the Crabbers the final 66-63 lead. 
The Crabbers fought hard and stayed determined until the game was over, 
and because of that, they were able to secure the championship.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to again congratulate the Hampton High School 
Basketball Team and thank Coach Brown, the parents, and the entire 
Hampton High School community for supporting these students throughout 
the season. They have all made their community proud. I wish them the 
best in their future endeavors, and I wish the program continued 
success.
