CONGRATULATING THE RED RAIDERS BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM
______
HON. SCOTT FITZGERALD
of wisconsin
in the house of representatives
Thursday, March 18, 2021
Mr. FITZGERALD. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Wauwatosa East High School boys' basketball team for winning the Division 1 state championship earlier this month.
What started as a nail biter with the Red Raiders trailing the Papermakers 27-26 at the half, ended with a triumphant turnaround by the Wauwatosa East team on their way to a 62-44 victory. The Red Raiders shot an impressive 71 percent from the floor in the second half and finished at 55 percent for the game. This marks the Red Raiders fourth state championship win in the program's 17th tournament appearance and their first appearance in the tournament since 2008.
I applaud Coach Arndorfer and the entire team for a terrific season. This team overcame many obstacles in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, but they persevered and brought home the win. Congratulations to the Red Raiders, or as they call themselves, the ``band of brothers.'' This achievement is well-deserved.
