                            HON. JOHN KATKO

                  in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 25, 2017

  Mr. KATKO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the victory of the 
Jamesville-DeWitt Girls' Basketball Team in the New York State Public 
High School Association Class A Championship on March 18, 2017. The 
Jamesville-DeWitt Red Rams defeated the Pittsford-Mendon Vikings by a 
score of 48-46 to win the state title for the second year in a row.
  The Red Rams' victory over the undefeated and number one-ranked 
Vikings was a close game, but the tournament's most outstanding player 
Meg Hair scored 12 points and senior Julia Kelner scored 11 points to 
secure the title. Members of the state championship team include Hair, 
Kelner, as well as senior Angela Bussone, juniors Jamie Boeheim and 
Kasey Vaughan, freshmen Sydney Baker, Paige Keeler, Maya Leslie, Gabby 
Stickle, Andrea Sumida, and eighth graders Momoka LaClair and Tracey 
Edison. The team is coached by Rob Siechen.
  I am honored to recognize the teamwork displayed by the Jamesville-
Dewitt Red Rams and to congratulate the members of the team, their 
families, the coaching staff, and teachers at Jamesville-Dewitt High 
School. This is a historic win for Central New York and I am confident 
that the positive experiences from the 2017 season will yield continued 
success in both athletics and academics.
