                        Tuesday, April 27, 2010

  Mr. CARSON of Indiana. Madam Speaker, I would like to recognize and 
commend the Ben Davis High School Lady Giants for winning the 2010 
Indiana State High School Athletic Association Girls Basketball 
Championship.
  Ben Davis High School is a 3-year high school in the Metropolitan 
School District of Wayne Township, located in the 7th Congressional 
District of Indiana.
  Since 1892, the school has provided Indianapolis students with 
nationally recognized academic and athletic programs. The high school 
is known for its debate and journalism activities, and it continues to 
expand on the artistic programs offered to its students.
  The Lady Giants are an example of the success and pride that young 
people can achieve through receiving a well-rounded education.
  In the Championship game, the Lady Giants defeated the Merrillville 
High School Lady Pirates with a final score of 99 to 52. Not only was 
this the Lady Giants' second straight championship win, but the team 
also set a new state record for making it their 58th consecutive 
victory.
  I encourage all of my colleagues to join me in praising these 
extraordinary young women for their hard work and perseverance, and I 
encourage them to continue to develop and serve as an example for all 
students across the United States.

                          ____________________
