  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the boys' 
basketball team of Argyle High School for their Texas 3A state 
championship title this year. The title ``Champion'' is earned through 
the determination to succeed as individual athletes, working together 
as a team. Additional accolades to Coach John King and his staff for 
their outstanding leadership. Clarke Overlander was named the Class 3A 
state championship game Most Valuable Player.
  In these young men's perseverance and vision to succeed, they are 
held to rigorous standards of performance on the field as well as 
academics in the classroom. Winning many games on the way to the state 
championship, their road to victory is testament to a team always 
reaching for new heights. This milestone achievement speaks highly of 
each young man's motivation, teamwork, and willingness to face a 
challenge; they can be expected to prove themselves as champions in 
many ways throughout their lives.
  I am pleased to join the classmates, teachers, friends, family and 
Argyle community in honoring the athletic achievement of the Argyle 
Eagles boys' basketball team winning their first Texas 3A state 
championship. It is my privilege to represent you in the U.S. House of 
Representatives.
