                CONGRATULATING THE MISS SELMA'S SHOOTERS

 Mr. PRYOR. Mr. President, it is with the greatest pleasure 
that today I honor the sixth grade girls' basketball team of Miss 
Selma's school in Little Rock, AR, for finishing in first place of the 
regular basketball season.
  This is a team that is comprised of eight basketball players who have 
played together since the third grade. The talented members of the team 
are: Sam Anderson, Elizabeth Campbell, Cassidy Johnson, Paige Logsdon, 
Audrey Peters, Laura Russell, Gracie Sloan, and Peyton Watts.
  While all the teams in the league are worthy of mention, the regular 
season came down to one game, a match-up with the Little Rock Christian 
team. Little Rock Christian has a great team. In fact, the Little Rock 
Christian team has a dynasty and they had never been beaten in 4 years 
of play and had won all 70 games they had ever played. The game 
showcased great athleticism displayed by both teams. The battle was 
intense for the duration of the contest. The difference in the game was 
decided by a free throw made in the last few seconds, which gave a 16 
to 15 victory to the Miss Selma's Shooters. It was a classic and will 
be remembered for many years by all that witnessed it and both teams 
deserve credit for the manner and intensity for which they competed.
  I would like my colleagues to join me in congratulating the Miss 
Selma's Shooters sixth grade girls' basketball team for winning the 
regular season. But most of all please join me in thanking them for the 
way in which they show appreciation to the game and to all teams that 
they play.
