                    PEARLAND HIGH SCHOOL LADY OILERS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the 
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Olson) is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Pearland 
High School Lady Oilers for winning the UIL-5A State softball 
championship.
  The Lady Oilers defeated Austin Bowie on June 5 with a 4-0 victory. 
It's impressive to note that five Lady Oilers were named to the UIL 
State All-Around Team. Coach Laneigh Clark and her softball team posted 
an impressive 37-6-1 record for the season.
  There is no question that these students have the leadership, 
dedication, and commitment that it takes to achieve great things now 
and in the future. They are persistent. They finished second last year; 
now they are number one.
  The Lady Oilers are proven role models and a source of pride for 
Pearland. With hard work and dedication, they have achieved their lofty 
goals.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the Pearland Lady Oilers on their 
championship and thank them for representing their community and school 
in a manner befitting the champions that they are.
