           RECOGNIZING IMMANUEL EAGLES BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM

  (Mr. ONDER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ONDER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Immanuel 
Eagles boys' basketball team for becoming national champions.
  These young men traveled to Fort Wayne, Indiana, from St. Charles, 
Missouri, to win the 78th Lutheran Basketball Association of America's 
national championship.
  These incredible young athletes worked hard to show their peers at 
the national level to never underestimate Missouri grit.
  As they faced exceptional teams from across the Midwest, these young 
men demonstrated their hard work, discipline, integrity, and commitment 
to something greater than themselves. Every pass, every hustle, and 
every moment on the court reflected their dedication to glorifying God 
through their efforts.
  This victory is a testament to the coaches, teachers, and parents at 
Immanuel Lutheran School, who invest in these young men every day. To 
God be the glory.
