The North Dakota Legislature's House Floor Session on March 25, 2025, celebrated notable achievements in the community while addressing legislative matters. Representative Warrie took the floor to honor the Kindred boys basketball team, who made a remarkable comeback to win the Class A state championship. Down by 26 points at halftime, the team rallied to secure a thrilling 59-58 victory against Veil Lake, culminating in a buzzer-beater tip-in by sophomore Brooks Bacco. This victory marks Kindred's first Class A championship, and the community is proud of their athletes and coaching staff, particularly Coach Bridal Whale, who was named Coach of the Year.

In addition to sports achievements, Representative Dobrevitch recognized March as National Social Work Month, emphasizing the vital role social workers play in supporting North Dakotans. The theme for this year, "Social Work: Compassion Plus Action," highlights the dedication and training social workers undergo to positively impact individuals and communities.

Representative LaFort also brought attention to the Dickinson State University women's wrestling team, which, in just its second season, saw four wrestlers qualify for the national tournament. Notably, Jamoke Adukoye won the national title in her weight class and was awarded the tournament's Most Outstanding Wrestler.

The session also included procedural discussions, with the House moving through various orders of business, including the passage of Senate Bill 2169 with a strong majority vote of 85-4. The day concluded with further legislative considerations, ensuring that the House remains focused on both community recognition and the legislative process.

These discussions reflect the North Dakota Legislature's commitment to celebrating local achievements while addressing important legislative matters that affect the community.
