CONGRATULATING SOUTH KNOX GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 55 (Wednesday, March 26, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 55 (Wednesday, March 26, 2025)] [House] [Page H1284] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] CONGRATULATING SOUTH KNOX GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM (Mr. MESSMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. MESSMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to give my personal congratulations to the South Knox girls' basketball team for taking the Class 2A State championship. In the stunning 55-33 win, the South Knox Spartans earned the school's first statewide championship victory. Basketball is a foundational part of our identity as Hoosiers, and they even gave us a term, ``Hoosier Hysteria,'' to describe just how seriously we take this sport and how many top players we produce. Congratulations once again to the girls' basketball team at South Knox and to Coach Hollie Eaves for showing everyone just how well they play basketball in Verne, Indiana. ____________________
