 CONGRATULATING THE MIDWAY, TEX., ALL-STARS MAJOR LEAGUE SOFTBALL TEAM 
            FOR WINNING THEIR THIRD CONSECUTIVE WORLD SERIES

                                 ______


                           HON. CHET EDWARDS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 7, 1994

  Mr. EDWARDS of Texas. Mr. Speaker, today I wish to congratulate the 
Midway All-Stars major league softball team for clinching the Girls' 
Major League Softball World Series for the third consecutive year.
  On August 20, these 14 young women, ages 11 and 12, capped another 
phenomenal season. The Midway girls are three-time world champions, 
having also won the world title in 1992 and 1993. This is an amazing 
accomplishment for any team in any sport.
  The Midway girls' triumph was international in scope as teams from 
the Philippines, Czechoslovakia, Canada, and the United States competed 
for the title of world champion in Portland, OR.
  This year's squad overpowered opponents at the district, sectional, 
State, and southern region levels before capturing the world series. 
The team consists of girls from the small community of Hewitt/Woodway 
right outside of Waco in the heart of Texas' 11th Congressional 
District.
  Members of this world championship team include Stephanie Bonnell, 
Rebecca Brophy, Kristi Crosby, Michelle Dalton, Katy Davis, Laura 
Decker, Renee Fratus, Megan Johnson, Sharee Johnson, Annesa Lindsey, 
Tammy Martinez, Jessica Pryor, Lindsey Reaves and Suzanne Rosiles. They 
should be lauded not only for their outstanding achievement, but for 
the qualities that made that achievement possible: teamwork, hard work, 
self-discipline and commitment. These are qualities that will serve 
them well throughout their lifetimes.
  The coaching staff includes Rick Brophy, Mike Reaves, Joe Martinez, 
Tom Lindsey, Terry Dalton, Don Fratus, Roy Colslasure and Danny Pryor. 
Through their unselfish dedication, they have forever touched the lives 
of these young people.
  I ask members to join me in congratulating this year's world series 
team and their coaches for this outstanding athletic accomplishment.
