         HONORING LINCOLNWOOD HIGH SCHOOL LANCERS BASEBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN SHIMKUS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, July 9, 2009

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a state 
championship baseball team from Raymond, Illinois.
  The Lincolnwood High School Lancers knocked off Marissa 3-1 to 
capture their first state championship in baseball. The championship 
game win at Silver Cross Stadium in Joliet capped off an amazing season 
in which the Lancers won their first 27 games and ended up with 34 wins 
against just two losses.
  My congratulations go to Head Coach Chris Paproth and assistant 
coaches Josh Stone and Lance Glick for their work with this outstanding 
group of student-athletes. But most of all, I want to congratulate the 
members of the 2009 Lincolnwood High School Lancers state champion 
baseball team: Aaron Pope, Luke Leonard, Chase Jaeger, Trevor Riggs, 
Clayton Clarke, Tyler Walch, Josh Glick, Adam Lemon, Nick Arter, Sam 
Elmore, Shane Herschelman, Lucas Stieren, Ethan Eliason, Randall 
Brockmeyer, Michael Stephenson, Kendall Wagaoff, Kyle Snyder, Jake 
Leonard, Kendall Crawford, Landon Weitekamp and Shane Burbridge.
  They have represented themselves, their school and the community in a 
first-rate fashion, and I want to join with the other members of this 
House in wishing them the best of luck in their future endeavors, both 
on and off the field.
