Mrs. McIVER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to say Go Bulldogs and Go Jaguars, better known as Malcolm X Shabazz High School's boys basketball team and Arts High School's girls basketball team, the champions of Newark Board of Education's Annual Holiday Basketball Tournament.

I wish I had been there to see Arts High School's girls basketball team secure their first holiday tournament title and to see Malcolm X Shabazz' boys basketball team secure another win to keep them undefeated, but, even though I wasn't there, I am still cheering all the way from D.C. for a win that made all of Newark proud.
