                         Friday, April 1, 2011

  Mr. BUCSHON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Vincennes 
Rivet High School Girls Basketball Team from Vincennes, Indiana. On 
March 5, 2011, the Lady Patriots won the Indiana High School Athletic 
Association's Class 1A State Championship for the first time in school 
history. Today, I would like to congratulate Coach Tim Young and the 
young ladies for their success.
  Capping off a regular season with a perfect record of 21 wins and 0 
losses, Coach Young led his #1 ranked team to the school's third 
straight appearance in the state finals where they achieved a 49 to 40 
victory against #2 ranked Turkey Run to bring home their first 
championship. I would also like to commend Coach Jeff Thompson and his 
team for their exceptional season.
  Coach Young constantly promoted teamwork and sportsmanship and was 
named the Evansville Courier & Press Southwestern Indiana Coach of the 
Year. His daughter, senior point guard Sarah Young, was named the all-
Southwestern Indiana Player of the Year.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the Lady Patriots of 
Vincennes Rivet High School for their hard work and dedication that 
culminated with their first ever Indiana High School Athletic 
Association's Girls Basketball Title.
