              HORNET GIRLS ARE STATE BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS

  (Mr. LARSON of Connecticut asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LARSON of Connecticut. Mr. Speaker, what a great honor for me to 
be here today and pay tribute to the fighting Hornets of East Hartford 
High. The girls' team has won the State championship in the State of 
Connecticut for the first time in the school's history.
  Mr. Speaker, 50 years ago, Maureen Rodgers ushered in modern-day 
girls' basketball at then-Penney High School. The crown today is that 
these young women demonstrated that vision and brought home the State 
championship to East Hartford, Connecticut.
