                               RESOLUTION


 
 Congratulating the Columbus Northern Little League Baseball Team from 
   Columbus, Georgia, on its victory in the 2006 Little League World 
                       Series Championship games.

Whereas on Monday, August 28, 2006, the Columbus Northern Little League baseball 
        team from Columbus, Georgia, defeated the Japanese Little League team by 
        a score of 2-1 to win the 2006 Little League World Series Championship 
        at South Williamsport, Pennsylvania;
Whereas, although Columbus Northern had taken 1 loss in the series, they did not 
        give up, and although the Championship game was delayed a day by rain, 
        the Columbus Northern team still kept pressing hard to come from behind 
        to win the Championship game;
Whereas a team from the State of Georgia had not won the world title in more 
        than 20 years;
Whereas the 2006 Columbus Northern Little League World Championship team 
        consists of players Kyle Carter, Brady Hamilton, Matthew Hollis, Matthew 
        Kuhlenberg, Josh Lester, Ryan Lang, Mason Meyers, J.T. Phillips, Kyle 
        Rovig, Patrick Stallings, and Cody Walker;
Whereas the 2006 Columbus Northern Little League World Championship team is led 
        by Coach Richard Carter, Manager Randy Morris, Team Mother Lynne 
        Phillips, and President Curt Thompson;
Whereas the championship victory of the Columbus Northern Little League Baseball 
        Team sets an example of sportsmanship, dedication, and a ``never give 
        up'' spirit for men and women all across the country; and
Whereas the achievement of the Columbus Northern Little League Baseball Team is 
        the cause of enormous pride for the Nation, the State of Georgia, and 
        the city of Columbus: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved,  That the House of Representatives congratulates the 
Columbus Northern Little League Baseball Team from Columbus, Georgia, 
on its victory in the 2006 Little League World Series Championship 
games.
