                         Tuesday, May 12, 2009

  Mr. DONNELLY of Indiana. Madam Speaker, today I wish to extend my 
congratulations to the Triton High School Boys Basketball Team. The 
Triton Trojans succeeded in placing 2nd in the IHSAA 1-A State 
Tournament on March 28, 2009 at Conseco Field House in Indianapolis. 
After playing their way into the finals, they suffered a 55-66 loss to 
Jac-Cen-Del.
  The Trojans worked tirelessly throughout the regular season in order 
to advance to the IHSAA 1-A State Tournament. They played with focus, 
determination and grit in the tournament and their tremendous effort 
closed out an impressive 24-3 season.
  The Triton team is led by Senior William Keel, who is the only 
returning starter from their championship season, and Seniors Joel 
Meister, Dustin Kreft, Cody Carpenter and Zachery Moriarty. Juniors 
include Curtis Nordmann, Benjamin Montalban, Camron Garey, Taran 
Holderman, and Kreig Voreis. Sophomore members on the team are Austin 
Davis, Griffyn Carpenter, Jordan Everett, Jordan Koontz, and Blake 
Lemler.
  Also, I acknowledge the wonderful support the team had throughout 
their spectacular 2009 season. Head Coach Jason Groves and Assistant 
Coaches Landon Hawkins, Dave Carpenter and Matt Landis guided the 
Trojans to victory. I would also like to thank Principal Michael 
Chobanov, Athletic Director Mason McIntyre and above all, the fans in 
the community, many of whom traveled to Indianapolis for the game and 
gathered to welcome the team home after their victory.
  I offer my congratulations to the members of the boys' basketball 
team of Triton High School, the coaching staff, the school 
administration, and the surrounding community for their accomplishments 
this season on the road to their 2nd place finish in the IHSSA 1-A 
State Tournament.
