minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARNEY. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize the 1973 
basketball team from Howard High School in Wilmington, Delaware. This 
year marks 40 years since Howard's sensational '73 team won Delaware's 
boys State championship with an undefeated season of 24-0.
  Howard's '73 team wasn't the biggest; but the Wildcats were 
disciplined, and they played with a lot of heart. They were led by 
their brilliant guards David Roane and Kenny Hynson and the 
irrepressible Mike Miller, who battled much taller players under the 
boards.
  Supported by a big family of coaches, teachers, classmates, and 
Howard alumni, the Wildcats became the first team in Delaware history 
to finish the season undefeated.
  There were several games where it looked like Howard might get 
knocked off, including a nail-biter against the much bigger Salesianum 
in the State semifinal; but the Wildcats were always able to pull out 
the victory in the end.
  Today I want to recognize Howard High School's 1973 boys basketball 
team, honor them for their historic season, and thank them for the work 
they continue to do for youth in the State of Delaware.
