          HONORING TWO-TIME STATE CHAMPION IOTA LADY BULLDOGS

                                 ______
                                 

                     HON. CHARLES W. BOUSTANY, JR.

                              of louisiana

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 12, 2008

  Mr. BOUSTANY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Iota 
Lady Bulldogs basketball team, who again finished their season with a 
state championship alter defeating Capitol 60-49 in strong fashion.
  The March 1st win capped the season for Iota, who finished with an 
impressive 36-4 record. Even more remarkable, the Lady Bulldogs 
competed in the larger Class AAA for the first time. Capitol had 
previously dominated the class with five championships in the past 7 
years. Over the course of their career, Iota's senior class won an 
impressive 225 games.
  Madam Speaker, as a member of the House Education and Labor 
Committee, I applaud these student athletes who demonstrated a strong 
work ethic, determination, and teamwork. The people of Iota share their 
pride in this team and each of these girls who continue to play so 
admirably.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in congratulating the 
two-time champion Iota Lady Bulldogs for their latest achievement.

                          ____________________
