                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 10, 2005

  Mr. HENSARLING. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to honor the Van 
Vandals boy's basketball team who won the Texas 3A High School 
Basketball Championship on March 11, 2005. In their first trip to the 
state finals in 63 years, the Vandals beat Graham High School to return 
home with the state championship trophy. The victory capped off an 
outstanding season for the Vandals with an impressive record of 38-2.
  I would like to recognize teammates Grant McMillan, Kacey McCauley, 
Cory Foster, Beau Garland, Marcus Brown, Cody Huffman, Dalvin Davis, 
Duncan McFarland, Brandon Roberts, Chris Gossett, Andrew Thompson, 
Kenny Ghormley, Jeramie Calhoun, Wade Mackey, as well as Head Coach 
Jerry Cassell and Assistant Coaches Jeff Hutchins and Rick Jones.
  As the congressional representative of the families, coaches, and 
supporters of the Van Vandals, it is my pleasure to recognize their 
tremendous victory and outstanding season. This is an accomplishment 
that these young men will remember for the rest of their lives.
