CONGRATULATING OHIO GIRLS' STATE HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL CHAMPION MOUNT 
                           NOTRE DAME COUGARS

  (Mr. CHABOT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, while I was at home last week in Ohio's 
First Congressional District, I had the honor of attending a pep rally 
at Mount Notre Dame High School. The school spirit in that gym was 
really something to behold. Of course there was cause for celebration, 
since the Cougars captured their second Ohio girls' State basketball 
championship in the last 3 years with an overall record of 25-3. The 
Cougars faced a difficult road to the championship, including a 
regional final victory over a tough Oak Hills Lady Scots team, which 
also happens to be in my congressional district.
  Mount Notre Dame basketball has become synonymous with success 
throughout the State of Ohio. Not only have they appeared in the State 
finals 3 years in a row, but this victory made the Cougars the first 
Cincinnati girls' basketball program to capture two State titles. It is 
also important to note that Mount Notre Dame excels in academics.
  It is a great honor for me to recognize the success and achievements 
of these outstanding young women, their head coach Scott Rogers, his 
staff and the entire student body. Their hard work and dedication makes 
all Cincinnatians proud.
  Go Cougars.
