                                 ______
                                 

                     HON. CHARLES W. BOUSTANY, JR.

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 9, 2012

  Mr. BOUSTANY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Teurlings 
Catholic High School Lady Rebels softball team for recently being 
crowned class 4 A state champions by the Louisiana High School Athletic 
Association. This team truly has the heart of a champion. En route to 
the state championship, the strength and will of this team was tested 
time and time again. In the end, this team triumphed and defeated the 
Leesville High School Lady Cats to become the undisputed state 
champions on April 28, 2012.
  The team's five seniors: Corin Voinche, Halie Green, Delilah 
Melancon, Julienne Broussard, and Megan Fuselier, tasted additional 
success each year they played. In 2009, the team made the state 
quarterfinals. In 2010, the team reached the state semifinals. In 2011, 
the team played in the state finals. This year, it attained the 
ultimate goal and won the state championship. This group embodies the 
term perseverance. Having overcome adversity and never allowing its 
determination to waver, I commend the efforts of the entire Teurlings 
Lady Rebels softball team.
  Congratulations to coach Callie Gautreaux and her coaching staff of 
Lana Bowers, Vallie Gaspard, and Caleb Castille. This team had an 
outstanding year and saved its best performance for the year's largest 
stage. I look forward to next year's softball season and wish the Lady 
Rebels team good luck in defending its crown.
