                CONGRATULATIONS TO KEY WEST HIGH SCHOOL

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate 
the newest baseball, State of Florida, High School Champions, the Key 
West High School baseball team.
  Located in the southernmost point of Florida, the Conchs captured 
their 11th State title by beating Orlando Bishop Moore by a score of 7-
0. This is the first State title for the Conchs since 1998, capping an 
incredible season.
  At the beginning of the year, the Conchs were ranked fifth in the 
Nation by Baseball America Magazine, and they surely did not 
disappoint. Their 27-to-5 record demonstrates their commitment and 
their resilience, Mr. Speaker.
  Key West High School is the little school that could; and, boy, they 
sure did. Congratulations to the Key West High School baseball team on 
its incredible season. Hats off to the athletes, their proud parents, 
the coaching staff, the school administrator, the Monroe County Public 
School Superintendent Randy Acevedo, and all of the proud residents of 
Monroe County, and most especially Key West. Their win is a victory for 
all of Monroe County. Go Conchs!
