             CONGRATULATING THE WILKES CENTRAL LADY EAGLES

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize the Wilkes Central 
High School women's basketball team, which recently won the North 
Carolina 2A State championship. It is the first NCHSAA State 
championship in the program's history.
  The Lady Eagles fought hard in the final minutes to beat Kinston High 
School 44-41 for the win. MVP Laken Blackburn had 15 points to lead the 
team. Kailey McNeil added 9 points and 19 rebounds. Amber Godfrey had 7 
points, and Kamre Gibbs added 6 points, including two free throws with 
6.7 seconds left to seal the win. Brooke Bentley scored 5, and Maegan 
McUmber hit two crucial free throws in the fourth quarter.
  I commend these young athletes and head coach Scott Waugh, who led 
them on their winning campaign, and wish the team continuing success in 
future seasons.
