  Mr. GUEST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Meridian High 
School basketball team and Coach Ron Norman on the exceptional 
achievement of winning the 2024 MHSAA 7A Basketball State Championship. 
This championship is a result of the team's incredible work ethic and 
determination throughout this season.
  The 2024 MHSAA 7A championship is the team's first championship since 
2017 and is a testament to what can be accomplished when a group of 
individuals come together as a team. During this season, these young 
men were put to the test against tenacious opponents, and they did not 
waver. In the end,

their spectacular efforts culminated in a prized championship victory.
  I would also like to offer my congratulations to Coach Ron Norman for 
winning his second state title during his tenure at Meridian High 
School, as well as to his staff for such a successful season. These 
coaches have been excellent leaders for these young athletes throughout 
the season and have set them up for great future successes. The young 
men on this team are great examples to their classmates and community 
of what can be achieved through working together towards a common goal. 
We look forward to seeing what all of these exceptional young men 
achieve in the future.
  Again, I would like to extend my congratulations to the Meridian High 
School basketball team for their state championship victory.
