                      HONORING IOTA LADY BULLDOGS

                                 ______
                                 

                     HON. CHARLES W. BOUSTANY, JR.

                              of louisiana

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 28, 2007

  Mr. BOUSTANY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Iota Lady 
Bulldogs basketball team, who ended a perfect season this year by 
claiming the Class AA Louisiana Girl's Basketball Championship with a 
95-72 win over Many High School.
  The Lady Bulldogs sealed their victory in the second half, outscoring 
their opponents 56-30 to claim the school's first girl's State 
championship victory in 15 years. Previously, many had eliminated the 
Iota girl's team from the 2005 and 2006 State tournaments, but the 
third time was a charm for this year's Iota Lady Bulldogs squad. The 
win caps off a remarkable season for the team, which compiled a 43-0 
overall record.
  Madam Speaker, these student athletes will always cherish the memory 
of this season. The players, their families, and their classmates who 
cheered them on will always look back to this season as a source of 
pride, accomplishment and satisfaction.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in congratulating the 
Iota Lady Bulldogs for their achievement.

                          ____________________
