  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise today to 
recognize the State of Ohio 2001 Division IV State Softball 
Championship team from Gibsonburg High School. On Saturday, June 2, 
2001, the Gibsonburg Golden Bears decisively clinched the state title 
by defeating the Loudonville Redbirds four to zero.
  Under Head Coach Erika Foster and Assistant Coach Tom Hiser, the Lady 
Golden Bears have secured the first state championship of any kind in 
Gibsonburg High School history and the first softball championship for 
the area.
  The members of the team and their positions are: Heather Hill--Short 
Stop; Morgan Osborne--Left Field; Angela Ruiz--Third Base; Jamie 
Wonderly--Pitcher; Sarah Taulker--Center Field; Mandy Sleek--Utility 
Player; Sarah Walby--Second Base; Sheena Smith--Utility Player; Lexe 
Warren--First Base; Krissy Lotycz--Catcher; Kelly Krotzer--Utility 
Player; and Beth Gruner--Right Field.
  I ask my colleagues and the entire Ohio delegation to join me in 
congratulating the Gibsonburg Golden Bears softball team and their 
coaches.
