                        Wednesday, March 7, 2007

  Mr. DONNELLY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to offer a word of 
congratulations to the girls' basketball team of Oregon-Davis High 
School who captured the Class 1A Indiana state championship. Their 54-
46 victory took place on March 3, 2007 at Conseco Fieldhouse in 
Indianapolis.
  The girls worked tirelessly throughout the season, compiling an 
overall record of 25-3 and winning 19 straight games to end the season. 
En route to their first state championship in school history, they also 
captured the Northland Athletic Conference title with an undefeated 
record in league play.
  The Oregon-Davis team consisted of 19 tremendous young women, 
including Seniors Amber Boyle, Angela Boyle, Lien Ly; Juniors Ji Yeon 
Kim, Sarah Konkey, Lauren Kuss; Sophomores Maria Duncan, Nicole Mickow, 
Aubrey Minix, Caley Savoie; and Freshmen Kelly Gibson, Olivia Kuss, 
Nicole Meyer, Gabrielle Minix, Kelsey Minix, Brittnie Rannells, Alivia 
Sims, Samantha Sims, and Ariel Yung.
  Throughout the year, the Bobcats were led by supportive coaches and 
school officials. Head Coach Terry Minix, an Oregon Davis High School 
graduate himself, was assisted by four other coaches, namely his wife 
Cheryl,

Andrea Hoppe, Candi Goble, and Will Coatie. Also, we recognize the 
contributions of administrators such as Superintendent Bill Rentschler, 
Principle Greg Briles, and Athletic Director Will Hostrawser.
  Finally, we should not overlook the popular support for this Hamlet, 
Indiana school. With an enrollment of only 224 students, the school 
sold over eleven hundred tickets for the state championship game, an 
example of strong community spirit.
  Again, I offer my congratulations to the members of the girls' 
basketball team of Oregon-Davis High School and their entire community 
for their accomplishments throughout the season.
