Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate the Sierra Pacific girls' basketball team for their incredible 2025 season. Last month, the Lady Bears won the CIF Central Section Division II championship. This was the highest CIF Central Division a team has won in Sierra Pacific High School history and the highest division a team has ever competed in. These athletes showed grit, heart, and determination all season long. Their championship win isn't just a testament to their talent but also their discipline. Wins like this don't just happen. They are earned through constant practice, tough losses, and in never giving up on one another. They worked hard and trained all year for this, and I am honored to stand here today to celebrate them. Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the players, coaches, and families. They have made us all in the Central Valley very proud. ____________________
