          RECOGNIZING PALM BAY PIRATES GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM

  (Mr. HARIDOPOLOS asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HARIDOPOLOS. Mr. Speaker, it is March Madness. With America 
currently fixated on basketball, I recognize today the Palm Bay girls' 
basketball team on their recent statewide victory. The team made 
history by capturing the State's Class 4A State championship here in 
Florida. The Pirates overcame a tough American Heritage squad where 
they rallied from a 14-point deficit to win the State title.
  Leading the way was Senior Guard Jaida Civil, a University of 
Tennessee commit and McDonald's All American, who grabbed 9 rebounds 
and scored 20 points.
  The entire team made critical contributions, showing their depth and 
the unity of this team. The championship caps off a season where the 
Pirates won by an average of 57 points.
  I congratulate the entire Palm Bay Pirates team. They have made our 
entire community proud.
