“while I was at home last week in Ohio's First Congressional District, I had the honor of attending a pep rally at Mount Notre Dame High School. The school spirit in that gym was really something to behold. Of course there was cause for celebration, since the Cougars captured their second Ohio girls' State basketball championship in the last 3 years with an overall record of 25-3. The Cougars faced a difficult road to the championship, including a regional final victory over a tough Oak Hills Lady Scots team, which also happens to be in my congressional district. Mount Notre Dame basketball has become synonymous with success throughout the State of Ohio. Not only have they appeared in the State finals 3 years in a row, but this victory made the Cougars the first Cincinnati girls' basketball program to capture two State titles. It is also important to note that Mount Notre Dame excels in academics. It is a great honor for me to recognize the success and achievements of these outstanding young women, their head coach Scott Rogers, his staff and the entire student body. Their hard work and dedication makes all Cincinnatians proud. Go Cougars. ____________________”
