             HONORING SIERRA PACIFIC GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM

  (Mr. VALADAO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VALADAO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate the 
Sierra Pacific girls' basketball team for their amazing 2026 season.
  This past year, the Lady Bears finished an incredible season by 
winning the Division II State championship, the highest CIF State 
division title in school history.
  These student athletes have shown what is possible through teamwork, 
discipline, and grit. They put in long hours, battled through 
adversity, and continued to push themselves to be better every single 
day. That dedication has absolutely paid off.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the players, coaches, and families on 
this well-earned victory. They have made their school, community, and 
the Central Valley proud.
