                        Thursday, April 4, 2019

  Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 
Thayer Lady Bobcats Basketball team for winning the Class 2 State 
Championship on March 9, 2019, the first women's basketball state 
championship in school history.
   In his third year, Coach Cecil Meyer led the team to an overall 
record of 30-3, winning the last 14 games of the year. The Lady Bobcats 
were full of talented players, notably All-State Seniors Julie Stone 
and Angela Sorrell along with South Central All-Conference members, 
Shelby Coursey and Maddy Kerely.
   The Lady Bobcats swept through the postseason on their way to a 52-
35 win over Mid-Buchanan High School in the championship game, capping 
the historic run. Their success is a testament to the hard work and 
preparation the coaches and players put in during the preseason and 
throughout the year.
   On behalf of the Eighth Congressional District of Missouri, it is my 
great privilege to congratulate the Thayer Lady Bobcats on their 
historic achievement. We look forward to their continued success. Go 
Bobcats.
