                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, March 25, 2009

  Mr. LUETKEMEYER. Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating the St. Francis Borgia Boys Basketball team for winning 
the Class 4 A Missouri State Championship on March 14th.
  The Knights were hungry for a win and that hunger showed.
  Armed with a tenacious defense that forced 17 turnovers and fueled by 
their high-powered offense, the Knights walked away with a convincing 
59-41 victory over the Kearney Bulldogs.
  The young men and their coaches should be commended for all their 
hard work throughout the regular season and the playoffs.
  And it just goes to show that a strong defense is the foundation for 
a winning offense.
  I ask that you join me in recognizing the St. Francis Borgia Knights 
for a job well done!
