     MAINLAND REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS BASKETBALL STATE CHAMPIONS

  (Mr. VAN DREW asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VAN DREW. Mr. Speaker, thank you for allowing me to honor some 
outstanding members of south Jersey. The Mainland Regional High School 
Girls Basketball team has recently won the New Jersey Group 3 State 
championship. This is the first time the Mainland Regional High School 
girls basketball team has achieved this amazing accomplishment.
  These girls are the embodiment of teamwork. This win, and the hard 
work that they have put in to achieve it, is about all of them, not any 
one individual. I have been told that some of

them have been best friends since they were 7 years old.
  This friendship and teamwork have led them to reach an amazing goal. 
We could all learn a little bit about teamwork, especially in this 
great House of ours, and we could learn it from these amazing young 
ladies.
  Congratulations to the Mainland Regional High School girls basketball 
team. Keep up the good work. We are really proud of you.
