  Mr. PHELPS. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize one of the 
baseball teams in my district. The combined American Legion baseball 
team of Marion and Herrin, Illinois recently posted their second 
consecutive 25th District baseball championship. They finished with a 
25-13 record and also won the Murphysboro ``Apple City'' Classic 
Tournament.
  The team is coached by Greg Haub, with assistance from Andrew Manzo 
and Robert Morrel. The rest of the team includes Wyatt Churillo, 
Brandon Duty, Brian Jakubco, Chris Bluc, Ryan Holland, Brad Norman, 
Drew Wilkins, Brian Chaney, Brian Churillo, Dane Dalton, Ben Hart, 
Travis Morgan, Josh Pritchett, Tony Rinella, Chase Rudolph, and Tony 
Steams. The team trainer is Roy Hicks.
  It is with this, Mr. Speaker, that I say congratulations to the 
American Legion baseball team of Marion and Herrin, Illinois. Due to 
their hard work and team effort, they have proven beyond a doubt that 
they are deserving of the 25th District baseball championship.
