Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Polk County High School volleyball team for winning the 1-A volleyball State championship for the first time in the school's history. The Polk County Wolverines won last Saturday's championship game in a 3-0 win against Falls Lake Academy. Outside hitter Sophia Overholt, who averaged nearly three kills per set, was named MVP of the State finals. While the Wolverines have no shortage of impressive individual players, their strong bond as a team led them to this historic victory. As Michael Jordan, another great North Carolinian, once said: ``Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.'' Madam Speaker, I congratulate the Wolverines. I wish them all the best in their future endeavors, and I encourage them to continue to strive for excellence on and off the court. They have made western North Carolina proud. ____________________
