                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

               CONGRATULATING MOUNT NOTRE DAME VOLLEYBALL

 Mr. PORTMAN. Mr. President, today I wish to congratulate the 
Mount Notre Dame High School Volleyball team for winning their sixth 
Ohio Division I State volleyball title on Saturday, November 12, 2011. 
Mount Notre Dame is an all-girls Catholic school located in Cincinnati, 
OH.
  The Mount Notre Dame Cougars prevailed in the championship match by 
winning three out of four sets against defending State champions Toledo 
St. Ursula. Led by coach Joe Burke, who has won four state titles with 
Mount Notre Dame, the team's mantra was ``believe.''
  Mount Notre Dame has become one of the most successful programs in 
high school women's volleyball in the State of Ohio, and I congratulate 
the Mount Notre Dame Cougars on their hard-fought victory.

                          ____________________
