   CONGRATULATIONS TO PLEASURE RIDGE PARK HIGH SCHOOL'S BASEBALL TEAM

                                 ______


                             HON. MIKE WARD

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 24, 1996

  Mr. WARD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate an outstanding 
baseball team in my district. For the third year in a row, the Pleasure 
Ridge Park Panthers baseball team took the Kentucky State baseball 
championship title.
  This outstanding team was led by head coach Bill Miller who has 
served in that position for 17 years. The championship was won 5 to 3 
against the Greenup County Musketeers after a long-fought battle. The 
upset came after a 21-game Musketeer winning streak.
  Each team player gave it their all throughout the season and their 
dedication paid off in the final round. These young men deserve special 
recognition, and I am proud to have such athletes in my district. 
Members of the winning team included Simon Auter, Richard Boston, 
Darrell Davis, Matthew Fox, Adam Garris, Adam Gibson, Nathan Harp, Troy 
Hilpp, Shawn Hoover, Matthew Jarboe, Mickey King, Matthew McGohon, 
David McGovern, Royce Meredith, Paul Miller, Josh Newton, Matthew Page, 
William Pfister, Christopher Phillips, Brian Scyphers, Craig Shubert, 
Jeffrey Szymansky, Scott Terrill, Nicklaus Waddell, and Bradley 
Williams.
  Special recognition should be given to head coach Bill Miller as well 
as the assistant coaches Jim Stokes, Rich Hawks, Don Vandgrift, Richie 
Wyman, Sherm Blaszczyk, Dennis Lankford, and Jim Dawson. Pleasure Ridge 
Park Principal Charles Miller, Athletic Director Russ Kline and 
Assistant Athletic Director Jerry Smith should be especially proud of 
their team.
