                     CONGRATULATING THE LADY EAGLES

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate the Lady Eagles from the Bald Eagle Area School District 
in Pennsylvania for winning the state championship softball title on 
Friday, June 12. It was the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic 
Association's Class AA title game against the Brandywine Heights Area 
School District, and both are outstanding teams.
  Led by pitcher Megan Shaw, the Lady Eagles won by a score of 2-0 
against the Lady Bullets in a match where the Bullets had a better 
record with 27 wins and no losses. The Eagles' record was 23 wins and 3 
losses.
  This is a story about heart and determination after the Lady Eagles 
lost last year in the state finals. They have won 2 years out of 4 and 
are fierce competitors. Scoring runs were by Brooke Klinefelter and 
Taylor Parsons, with help from two other hitters, Lily Glunt and Jasa 
Mitchell; one bunted, and the second gave a base hit to bring in 
Parsons.
  Coach Dave Breon can be justifiably proud of these high school girls 
and the hard work that got them to the finals and made them state 
champions. Great job, Lady Eagles.
