CONGRATULATING THE PIRATES 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 Pewaukee Pirates High School boys' basketball team for winning the Division 2 state championship earlier this month.
In the state championship game, the Pirates played incredibly well, never once trailing in the contest as they raced out of the gate with an eight-point lead. They hit shot after shot as they built on their lead. The Pirates closed the first half with an impressive 12-0 run on their way to a 54-37 win. This remarkable victory is the Pewaukee team's first state championship win and their second appearance in the tournament.
I applaud Coach Burkemper and the entire team for their first state championship title. This team has overcome many obstacles in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, but they persevered and brought home impressive hardware to show for it. Congratulations to the Pirates for their hard work all season. This achievement is well-deserved.
