                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 7, 2019

  Mr. HASTINGS. Madam Speaker, I enthusiastically rise today to honor 
the Dillard High School Lady Panthers girls' basketball team and their 
coach Marcia Pinder on winning their 10th state championship on March 
2, 2019 with a 43-40 win against Ponte Vedra Nease at George W. Jenkins 
Arena.
  Coach Pinder leads by example. Her dedication to Dillard High School 
and its basketball program is truly commendable.
  Under Coach Pinder's tutelage, the Dillard girls basketball team has 
consistently been recognized for being among the best in their sport.
  In this year's game, Genovea Johnson and Raven White, two senior 
stars on the team, helped carry the Lady Panthers to victory. They both 
have had the unique experience of attending Dillard since they were in 
middle school.
  I would also like to recognize the entire Lady Panthers team, which 
includes: Markhyia Davis, Briah Christia, Chynna Mattair, Kayla 
Burrows, Sequoia Emmanuel, Angel Howell, Genovea Johnson, Kintaeja 
Ling, Taja Stephens Aryanna Boyce, Monique Harris, Raven White, and 
Marcus Harris.
  Madam Speaker, I am so very proud of the Dillard High School Lady 
Panthers girls' basketball team. They had a tremendous season and 
should be extremely proud of themselves. I wish Coach Pinder and the 
entire team many more years of continued success.
