                         Tuesday, March 7, 2017

  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Connersville High 
School on its 2017 IHSAA Class 4A Sectional 9 championship in boys' 
basketball.
   The Spartans faced off against the New Castle Trojans, with a 
standing room only crowd watching, at historic New Castle Fieldhouse, 
the world's largest high school gymnasium.
   I am proud of these young men for not only their remarkable win, but 
also for the Hoosier sportsmanship that they displayed throughout this 
exciting season. I want to commend Coach Kerry Brown as well as all of 
the assistant coaches who led these young men to victory.
   Congrats, Spartans.
