            HONORING THE THUNDERRIDGE GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM

  (Mr. COFFMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the 
ThunderRidge High School girls varsity basketball team on their 
stunning 5A State championship win over Highlands Ranch High School. 
ThunderRidge came out strong to clinch their fourth State championship 
in a dominating 47-32 victory.
  It was a game of defensive tenacity. The score held strong at 6-4 in 
the sixth minute of the game, something that Head Coach Matthew Asik 
ingrained in his team's game plan, saying that, ``If we play good 
defense, we can always be in a game.''
  Senior Jaz'myne Snipes put 16 points on the board and hustled for 8 
rebounds in the final game, which earned her the well-deserved title of 
tournament MVP.
  This was a thrilling game between two Highlands Ranch powerhouses. I 
am so proud of these two teams for representing the Sixth Congressional 
District of Colorado in the title game. Congratulations to both teams 
on a stellar season.
