          CONGRATULATING NORTH PITT HIGH SCHOOL LADY PANTHERS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Cline). The Chair recognizes the 
gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Davis) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to celebrate 
the incredible Lady Panthers of North Pitt High School, who won the 
2024 North Carolina High School Athletic Association 2A women's 
basketball championship.
  North Pitt High School squared off against the undefeated Lady 
Cavaliers of East Burke and came out victorious, 76-66.
  Senior Zamareya ``Zam'' Jones was crowned the most outstanding 
player, adding to her many achievements: 2,000 career points, 1 of just 
17 players from the State to be a McDonald's all American, and finally 
leading her team to victory with 21 points against East Burke.
  Next year, Jones is going to North Carolina State, but she will be 
leaving the North Pitt High School basketball team in great hands with 
freshman Jordan Speller, who scored an impressive 31 points and was the 
game's MVP.
  Mr. Speaker, without any doubt, there is incredible talent and 
exciting basketball north of the river. I congratulate Coach Pittman, 
Principal Harris, and the entire North Pitt High School family.
  To all of the Lady Panthers, your Congressman is mighty proud of you.
