                        Tuesday, April 25, 2017

  Mr. CARSON of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to offer my 
congratulations to the Charles A. Tindley Accelerated School Varsity 
Boys Basketball Team. The Tindley Tigers secured the Division 1A 
Indiana State Boys Basketball Championship on March 25, 2017 at Bankers 
Life Field House after a 51-49 victory over Lafayette Central Catholic.
  This is the Tigers first appearance in the state finals and the team 
made it count by clinching the school's first state championship in any 
sport. The game's last minute shot and stolen inbound pass secured the 
win for the Tindley Tigers, who were led by Head Coach Bob Wonell.
  The Tindley Tigers have secured their place in the storied history of 
Indiana basketball. I extend my congratulations to the student 
athletes, coaching staff, school and our entire Indianapolis community 
on their accomplishment this season.

                          ____________________
