I rise today to celebrate a remarkable achievement by the Sparta Warrior girls' basketball team from White County High School in Tennessee's Sixth Congressional District. This season, the Warriors advanced all the way to the 2026 TSSAA Class 3A girls' basketball State championship game, finishing as proud runner-up. In doing so, they earned their second consecutive trip to the State tournament, a feat that speaks volumes about their talent, discipline, and unrelenting work ethic. From the opening tip to the final buzzer, these young women represented White County with discipline and dedication. Their coaches and families poured countless hours into developing not just great athletes but great leaders. In a district that values hard work and perseverance, the Sparta Warriors have given us all something to celebrate and a standard of excellence to follow. I congratulate every player, coach, and supporter of this outstanding season. Tennessee's Sixth District is stronger because of these young women.
