BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. LATTA. Mr. Speaker, it is with a great deal of pride that I rise to pay a very special tribute to an outstanding high school basketball team in Ohio's Fifth Congressional District. The young women of the Bellevue High School girls' basketball team have represented their school ably on their way to achieving the Division IV State Girls Basketball Title. In their effort to surpass all other teams in the Division IV State Basketball Playoffs, the Bellevue Redmen overcame the challenges posed by intense competition.

In pursuing the State Championship, the Bellevue Lady Redmen defeated the Kettering Archbishop Alter Knights to win their first state basketball championship. The members of this very special team have shown that their sport requires an individual effort for a team result. Their hard work and dedication, both on and off the court, in achieving this accomplishment, is truly outstanding.

Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in paying special tribute to the Bellevue High School girls' basketball team. On behalf of the people of the Fifth District of Ohio, I am proud to recognize this great achievement.
