  Mr. GORDON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Shelbyville 
Golden Eaglettes for winning this year's Tennessee Class AAA girls high 
school basketball championship. The March 13 win earned the Golden 
Eaglettes a record 12th state title.
  Such a feat deserves much respect. The team of highly motivated 
players went 31-5 this year, capping a championship season with a 
resounding 57-43 win over a tough Memphis Craigmont team. This is the 
third year out of the last four that Shelbyville has captured the Class 
AAA state championship.
  Shelbyville residents can be proud of the accomplishments of the 
Golden Eaglettes, who are a recognized powerhouse in high
