  Mr. BONNER. Madam Speaker, it is with great pride and pleasure that I 
rise today to congratulate the Gulf Shores High School softball team, 
the Lady Dolphins, on winning the Class 5A softball championship.
  The Gulf Shores High School softball team has reached the state 
playoffs for the past six years, coming in second in 2004 and 2006; 
however, this is their first state championship title.
  The Lady Dolphins, led by Coach Karen Collins, won four tight games 
over two days of tournament play before scoring a dramatic one run 
victory in the bottom of the seventh inning to win the state 
championship.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the 
Gulf Shores softball team on a great season and winning the state 
championship. This team deserves to be recognized for this great 
accomplishment, and I extend my congratulations to each member of the 
team and coaching staff.
