Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate Dunbar High School for its recent advancement to the UIL 5A Texas State basketball tournament.

Dunbar High School has been recognized throughout the years for both its academic and athletic achievements, with the fine Wildcats' basketball success being the latest. The Wildcats were led by Coach Robert Hughes, Jr., and they fought their way all the way to the State tournament in San Antonio, Texas. The team entered unranked and as one of only two qualifiers that were unranked.

Dunbar, a three-time champion, is no stranger to big games, with their last trip being in 2007. They won the UIL State Basketball Championship in 1963, 1965, 1967, 1993, 2003, and 2006. Back in the sixties and early nineties, they were under the leadership of Coach Robert Hughes, Sr.

Today I am proud to recognize the success of Dunbar High School's basketball team and their outstanding 23-12 record. They have made Fort Worth very proud, and I wish the program continued success.
