                      HON. JAMES A. TRAFICANT, JR.

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 9, 1994

  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, I rise here today to pay tribute to the 
Champion High School women's softball team, the 1994 champions of the 
State of Ohio. The lady Flashes' led by a solid core of cagey veterans, 
as well as a strong pitching staff finished with an astounding 29-2 
record. The Flashes' tenacious defense held their final two opponents 
scoreless throughout their championship weekend.
  I also wish to commend Coach Gene Cheredar on his leadership of this 
talented squad. His development of a cohesive, well focused team was 
intrical in the capturing of the State title. The teamwork and 
discipline displayed by these fine young women is a shining example of 
the value of high school athletics.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to honor these fine young women, I am proud 
of their accomplishments and I am proud of the way they represent 
Ohio's 17th Congressional District. May they be blessed with health, 
happiness and continued success.
