 HONORING THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF LEXINGTON CATHOLIC GIRLS' BASKETBALL 
                                  TEAM

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I pay tribute and congratulate 
Lexington Catholic Girl's Basketball Team, the Lady Knights, who were 
recently ranked No. 3 in ihigh.com's national ratings, and No. 5 in USA 
Today's Super 25. The Lady Knights are currently undefeated within 
their region and will go on to next month to compete within the State 
for the State championship title. Their recent performance has given 
Kentucky reason to be proud.
  Led by coach Greg Todd, the Ladies Knights are currently ranked No. 1 
within their region with a record of 22 to 1. In doing so they have 
beaten the four highest-ranked regional teams in the Louisville 
Courier-Journal newspaper's Litkenhous Ratings by a combined 70 points.
  I cannot think of a much better group of young people to represent 
Kentucky. As a former Major League Baseball player, I appreciate their 
athletic excellence. As a U.S. Senator from Kentucky, I appreciate the 
dignity with which they played.
  I am proud to read the names of these teammates into the 
Congressional Record today. They are Adaeze Azubuike, Anaris Sickles, 
Briana Green, Keyla Snowden, Katie Scordo, Rebecca Rhule, Lauren 
Ramsey, Nikki Davis, Ktie Frueh, Chelsey Johnson, Kellie Cash, Natalie 
Novosel, Ashley Devers, Lesley Server, Elizabeth Elam, Shannon Novosel, 
and Katie Kissner.
  The citizens of Kentucky should be proud of these young ladies. Their 
example of dedication and hard work should be an inspiration to the 
entire State. I wish them continued success both on and off the 
basketball court.
