                     Wednesday, September 15, 2010

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Madam Speaker, today I rise to congratulate the 
Teutopolis Wooden Shoes baseball team on the state championship.
  Teutopolis recently upset the undefeated Harrisburg in the state 
championship by a score of 5-1 to claim their first state title in 
school history. The Wooden Shoes finished the season with an impressive 
31-4 record.
  My congratulations go out to Head Coach Justin Fleener, Assistant 
Coach Rob Bothwell and Assistant Coach Troy Bierman for their work with 
this outstanding group of student-athletes. But most of all, I want to 
congratulate the members of the 2010 Teutopolis Wooden Shoes state 
champion baseball team: Ryan Pruemer, Clint Lustig, Luke Bushur, Andy 
Hardick, Lance Niebrugge, Kyle Zerrusen, Jeff Bloemer, Derek Repking, 
Derek Thompson, Jordan Roepke, Damon Hoene, Bo Blievernicht, Dillon 
Hardick, Brock Swingler, Cole Borries, Josh Koester, Garrett Overbeck, 
Brett Deters and Mark Niebrugge.
  They have represented themselves, their school and the community in 
an exemplary fashion, and I would like 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.

                          ____________________
