                        CONGRATULATIONS TO TOT-
                      TENVILLE GIRLS SOFTBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. VITO FOSSELLA

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 30, 2005

  Mr. FOSSELLA. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate the stellar softball season for the Tottenville Girls 
Softball Team on their recent City Championship victory.
  The Tottenville Pirates dominated the Public School Athletic League 
this season with an amazing 189 runs scored while only allowing an even 
more stunning 6 runs. More than 200 fans showed up to see if 
Tottenville was in fact for real. They went about their business as 
usual and recorded a 1-0 victory for the school's first Metro Bowl 
softball title--and they did it against arguably the top program in New 
York City.
  Tottenville coach said they have prepared for this by playing against 
the top competition throughout New York City. And after the 
championship game, it was obvious that play against the best paid off.
  On behalf of family, friends, fans, and the entire 13th Congressional 
District of Staten Island and Brooklyn, New York, I would like to again 
congratulate the Tottenville Girls Softball Team for their outstanding 
season. Each player, coach, and fan should be very proud of their 
efforts. I commend them for their drive, desire, and sportsmanship that 
they revealed throughout the season.
  The Girls Tottenville Roster is as follows: Stefani Allen, Lauren 
Bello, Samantha Bennett, Ashley Brandow, Erin Dailey, Tara Dolton, Kim 
Ferraiolo, Megan Gardella, Michelle Gardella, Jessica Herrera, Alison 
Holtermann, Karisa Pietromonico, Nicole Pomponio, Christine Rode, 
Rebecca Sloan, Diana Stout, Brittney Stratton, Samantha Wagner.
  Coaches: Cathy Morano, John Leverock, Victor Vazquez, Gene 
Castellucci, Joanna Pellecchia.
