CONGRATULATIONS TO THE COUGARS OF MOUNT NOTRE DAME AND THE WINTON WOODS 
                      HIGH SCHOOL VARSITY ENSEMBLE

  (Mr. CHABOT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, I come to the floor today to recognize two 
great high schools in my congressional district.
  The ladies of Mount Notre Dame, once again, with their usual style, 
grace, and determination won the Ohio Division I basketball 
championship. This win puts them in the history books, as it makes them 
the first Ohio team ever to win three consecutive State titles.
  With time running out and the game tied, freshman guard Kathryn 
Reynolds scored at the buzzer, clinching the championship for the 
Cougars 69-67. Coach Dante Harlan, top scorers Tia McBride, Ashley 
Fowler and the rest of the team are to be congratulated for their 
achievement. Well done, Cougars.
  I also want to recognize the 32 students in the Winton Woods High 
School Varsity Ensemble who were selected to participate in the Choral 
Salute at the 2008 Olympic Games in China. For more than a year, these 
gifted students have been preparing in rehearsals and planning fund-
raisers to pay for the trip to Shanghai and Beijing, China.
  They are to be commended for showcasing their talent and also for the 
time and hard work they have dedicated to this journey. I am proud 
Winton Woods will be representing Ohio's First District this year in 
the Olympics.
