                        Thursday, June 10, 2010

  Mr. COBLE. Madam Speaker, on behalf of the citizens of the Sixth 
District of North Carolina, we wish to extend our congratulations to 
the North Davidson softball team for its perfect season culminated by 
winning the North Carolina High School Athletic Association's 4-A state 
softball championship. North Davidson finished as the runner-up 3 out 
of the last 4 years, but this year they were able to win it all. The 
championship game concluded the Black Knight's 32-game perfect season.
  As a result of the tremendous athleticism of the players, the 
outstanding direction of coach Mike Lambros, and the unyielding support 
of the community, the Black Knights had all the components necessary to 
clinch the State title. Furthermore, this was a particularly special 
season for coach Lambros who celebrated his first championship after 
having coached the Black Knights for 30 years.
  The Black Knight's star pitcher Hannah Alexander won most valuable 
player honors for her tremendous contribution to her team's success. 
She only allowed two runs during the entire playoffs. This championship 
game required tremendous amounts of teamwork and determination.
  The championship team members included: Amelia Griffin, Allie 
Nicholson, Paige Wall, Kathy Choplin, Tess Swing, Nichole Tuttle, 
Jessica Plemmons, Shaundee Woosley, Lauren Grooms, Jordan Clodfelter, 
Lindy Yount, Hannah Alexander, Morgan Koontz, Tori Hedrick, Courtney 
Walker, Maggie McDowell, Mackenzie Hauser, Robyn Stanek, Missy Hunt, 
Eliza Davis, Kayla Harrell, Lauren Beaver, Katie Vick, Samantha 
Honeycutt, Lauren McNerney. Assisting head coach Mike Lambros on his 
championship run were Lamar Powell, Billy Gerald, Thomas Vick, Ronnie 
Plemmons, Jason Martin, Keith Stanek, Ben Lookabill, Blythe Craver, 
Kendra Israel, Jerry Smith, Jason Israel, Jeff Pace, Charlie Nicholson, 
and Tim Martin.
  Again, on behalf of the Sixth District of North Carolina, we would 
like to congratulate the North Davidson softball team, the faculty, 
staff, students and fans for an outstanding season.
