       CONGRATULATING THE SWINK HIGH SCHOOL BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BOB SCHAFFER

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 2, 1999

  Mr. SCHAFFER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Swink High 
School boys basketball team on their Class 2A District 4 Championship.
  The Swink players, led by Coach Tim Jordan, will now advance to the 
next level in the state basketball playoffs and their shot at the 
Colorado State 2A Championship.
  All teams, no matter what the sport, continually strive to find that 
special and unique combination of teamwork, leadership, skill and 
effort which unlocks the door to success. Under careful tutelage, hard-
working teams not only win games, but also build the confidence 
necessary to win championships. Clearly, these dedicated hoopsters have 
found this winning formula and attained the next rung of sporting 
success.
  Greater challenges remain, however, and I wish the Swink High School 
boys basketball team the best of luck in the Colorado 2A State 
Championship. No matter what the outcome of the next game, this team 
has proven it has the heart of a champion, and can take pride in the 
District 4 Championship.
