                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 3, 2008

  Mr. SCOTT of Virginia. Madam Speaker, I rise with great pride to call 
attention to a group of young women who have distinguished themselves, 
their school, their community, and the Commonwealth of Virginia.
  The Heritage High School Girls Varsity basketball team beat Forest 
Park High School of Woodbridge, VA 50-29 to win the VHSL Group AAA 
girls state basketball championship game on March 14, 2008. The Lady 
Canes (30-2) became only the 10th Group AAA team in Virginia state 
history with 30 wins. This is a remarkable feat and I believe they 
deserve formal recognition for their accomplishment.
  I would like to extend my enthusiastic congratulations to the 
Heritage High School players and their families, Coach Gardner and the 
rest of his coaching staff, Heritage High alumni, and the entire 
Heritage High community for their remarkable accomplishment and wish 
them a wonderful celebration this Thursday night.

                          ____________________
