            CONGRESSIONAL BASKETBALL TEAM DEFEATS LOBBYISTS

  (Mr. WENSTRUP asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with my teammates to 
recognize the accomplishments of the Congressional Basketball Team.
  The Congressional Basketball Team won Monday's 22nd Annual 
Congressional Basketball game against a team of lobbyists.
  We ended a drought for the Members' team going back to 2014. So we 
were due. We won 46-36 but most importantly, this event was sponsored 
by the Hoops for Youth Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that 
supports at-risk kids in our communities.
  The Hoops for Youth Foundation was founded with the mission of 
creating opportunities for at-risk kids through basketball. They work 
to teach kids that the skills they use on the basketball court can be 
used every day in life to help them succeed.
  It is a fun game. We come together. We won in a nice bipartisan 
fashion. Blake Moore was the MVP. He played an outstanding game, and we 
congratulate him for that. It was a great team effort.
  Madam Speaker, we say thank you to the non-profit that put this 
together for us and the success we had with raising money and having 
fun at the same time.
  Go team House of Representatives!
