CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MAMMOTH SPRING HIGH SCHOOL BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM

  (Mr. CRAWFORD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. CRAWFORD. I rise today to recognize the achievements of the 
Mammoth Spring High School boys' basketball team.
  This season, the Bears went 36 and 7 and claimed Arkansas' Class 1A 
State Championship trophy after defeating the Sacred Heart Rebels by a 
score of 42-39. This is the first ever State championship victory for 
the boys' basketball team, and it is a great source of pride for the 
Mammoth Spring community.
  I would like to commend Head Coach Jeremy Cude for leading his team 
to a State championship. Additionally, I would like to recognize 
players Mason Brown, Seth Brown, Joby Busch, Wayne Coffey, Houston 
Cooper, Craig Hoover, J.D. Major, Tyler Mullins, Josh Parker, Ryan 
Roberson, Cortley Rutledge, Dylan Skaggs, A.J. Smith, Matt Turnbough, 
and Garrett Wooldridge for the leadership they have shown.
  Great accomplishments like a State championship don't happen without 
a great deal of dedication. The Mammoth Spring Bears and their head 
coach have put Mammoth Spring on the map and have brought a great deal 
of pride to their community. Now that the boys' basketball team has 
brought a State championship trophy home to Mammoth Spring, I have no 
doubt that the players will set new, even higher goals to achieve.
  Congratulations once again to the Bears and to the entire Mammoth 
Spring community for their State championship victory.
