“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the achievements of several young ladies from my district. In early March, the Iowa high school women's basketball State championships were held in Des Moines. These young women took to the court, gave it their all, and made their schools proud. I was thrilled to see several young women recently earned all-State honors from the Des Moines Register. Kelsey Joens of Iowa City was named to the All-Iowa Elite team. Halle Vice of Pleasant Valley was named to the Class 5A team, and Callie Levin of Solon was named to the Class 4A team. Kaylee Corbin of Louisa- Muscatine and Kelsey Drake of Wilton were named to the Class 2A team. In addition, Jasmine Barney of Iowa City Liberty, Macy Daufeldt of West Liberty, Journey Houston of Davenport North, Allie Meadows of Central DeWitt, Meena Tate of Iowa City West, and Taylor Veach of Central DeWitt earned honorable mention recognition. Congratulations to all of these young women on achieving these honors. Thirty-two years ago today, our daughter, Taylor, burst into our lives. Thank you to Taylor, our Little Miss Sunshine, for all the immeasurable joy she has brought to her father and me. ____________________”
