Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate the Alexandria Cardinals basketball team on defeating Mankato East for their first- ever 3A Boys championship title. The senior co-captains, Sam Hagstrom and Chase Thompson, were especially excited, saying: ``It has been a fun ride,'' and, ``We ended things with a bang and left our mark,'' after their big win. This is a closely bonded group of young men, and their teamwork certainly paid off. Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the Cardinals on their win and for making their families, community, and the entire Seventh District proud. Congratulating West Central Area Knights
