                       CONGRATULATING TORI McCOY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RODNEY DAVIS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 20, 2016

  Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate Tori McCoy on being selected as a member of the 2016 
McDonald's All American Basketball Team.
  Since 1978, the McDonald's All American Basketball Games have helped 
raise more than $11 million for Ronald McDonald House Charities. Tori 
will join athletes like Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, and Shaquille 
O'Neal in this distinguished honor.
  She was selected from more than 750 nominees to represent some of the 
best high school basketball talent in the country. Born and raised in 
Champaign, Tori is a senior who currently plays as a forward for the 
St. Thomas More Sabers. She first earned the attention of many college 
recruiters two years ago when she helped the Sabers win a state title 
as a sophomore. Since then, she has been considered a top prospect for 
many basketball programs across the country, but will join the Ohio 
State Buckeyes after graduation.
  The first Girls Game for the McDonald's All American Basketball Games 
was held in 2002, and Tori is the first from my district to achieve 
such an honor. I am very proud of Tori's talent as a student athlete. I 
congratulate her on the outstanding accomplishment of being a member of 
the 2016 McDonald's All American Girls Game winning team, played at the 
United Center on March 30th.
