          ELDER BASEBALL TEAM EXTENDS INCREDIBLE TITLE STREAK

  (Mr. CHABOT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, Cincinnati's Elder High School took it down 
to the wire last week when their great baseball team traveled to 
Canton, Ohio, to play for the State championship. When the smoke 
cleared, the Panthers had accomplished a truly extraordinary feat. They 
had succeeded in winning a State title in 6 consecutive decades with 11 
championships overall.
  My brother, Ron, is a 1965 Elder graduate. I am an alumnus of arch 
rival LaSalle. I have to give credit where credit is due, Elder's 
accomplishment is phenomenal, and all of us who reside in Cincinnati's 
Western Hills are proud of their great achievement. Their commitment to 
excellence and their tradition of hard work have paid off. Once again 
they have made all of Cincinnati proud.
  To coach Mark Thompson, the Panther squad, and all their families and 
fans, I offer my heartfelt congratulations.
  From an old Lancer to all the Panthers, well done.
