“Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the achievements of several young men from Iowa's Second Congressional District. Earlier this month, the Iowa high school basketball State championships were held in Des Moines. It was a weekend of competition and sportsmanship. While no school from the Second District won the championship, several young men recently earned all-State honors from the Des Moines Register. Dayton Davis of Fort Madison and Shawn Gilbert of Central DeWitt were named to the Class 3A team. Eric Mulder of Pella Christian was named to the Class 2A team, and Maddox Griffin of Wapello was named to the Class 1A team. In addition, Kaden Hall of English Valleys, Carter Harmsen of Mid- Prairie, Karl Miller of Pella, Pete Moe of Iowa City West, and Blaise Porter of New London earned honorable mention recognition. Congratulations to all of these young men, teams, families, schools, and communities on achieving these honors. They are all well deserved. Madam Speaker, I also knowledge that tomorrow, March 29, my daughter, Taylor Miller-Meeks, was born, which was one of the best days of my life. ____________________”
