I rise today to honor the Jesuit High School Marauders of Carmichael, California, for capturing their first-ever CIF State basketball championship and doing so in truly historic fashion. At Sacramento's Golden 1 Center, Jesuit put on a master class in teamwork and execution, defeating L.A. County heavyweight Chatsworth 66-53. In what the Sacramento Bee called one of the most remarkable championship efforts, the Marauders showed us all how the game should be played--with heart, with discipline, and with unity. This was more than a win. It was a defining moment. Jesuit beat a program with national recognition. In doing so, they inspired a new generation of young athletes across Sacramento County to lead with character and strive for excellence. I congratulate the players, coaches, and community. They have made history and have made our community proud. Go Marauders.
