                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 23, 2003

  Mr. WALSH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the New York State 
Class B Champion Girls Varsity Softball Team from Newark Central High 
School. Their win was a great testament to the hard work and dedication 
of this team and its coaching staff.
  Head Coach Mike Muscolino has a lot to be proud of, as his Lady Reds 
brought home not only the State title, but the Section V title and the 
Class B State Sportsmanship award as well. Newark High School athletic 
teams have always had a reputation for fair play and good 
sportsmanship, and this year's girls softball team was no exception. 
Their award adds an extra ounce of pride to their title, making their 
victory just that much sweeter.
  On behalf of the people of the entire 25th District of New York 
State, I would like to congratulate the following champions on their 
outstanding triumph: Brandice Balschmiter, Amanda Baker, Jane Parcero, 
Holly Perry, Brittney Peters, Tab Pullen, Andrea Rommel, Sylina 
Santell, Christine Seppeler, Carrier Sheehe, Rachael Stowell, Sarah 
Wlodarczyk, Shelly Graham, Alex Hinckley, Karli Clingerman, Shannon 
Schulmerich, Corrie VanDemortel, Thaia Wheaton, as well as Head Coach 
Mike Muscolino and Assistant Coaches Lee Prong and Dan Pullen.
