RECOGNIZING IMMANUEL EAGLES BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 83 (Friday, May 15, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 83 (Friday, May 15, 2026)] [House] [Page H3544] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING IMMANUEL EAGLES BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM (Mr. ONDER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. ONDER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Immanuel Eagles boys' basketball team for becoming national champions. These young men traveled to Fort Wayne, Indiana, from St. Charles, Missouri, to win the 78th Lutheran Basketball Association of America's national championship. These incredible young athletes worked hard to show their peers at the national level to never underestimate Missouri grit. As they faced exceptional teams from across the Midwest, these young men demonstrated their hard work, discipline, integrity, and commitment to something greater than themselves. Every pass, every hustle, and every moment on the court reflected their dedication to glorifying God through their efforts. This victory is a testament to the coaches, teachers, and parents at Immanuel Lutheran School, who invest in these young men every day. To God be the glory. ____________________
