                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 18, 2012

  Mr. McINTYRE. Mr. Speaker, it is my great pleasure to rise today to 
ask you to join me in recognizing the Whiteville High School baseball 
team of Whiteville, North Carolina, on being named North Carolina 2 A 
State Champions.
  The Whiteville Wolfpack finished their season strong with a 16-game 
winning streak for a record of 26 5, including the championship game 
win over the 2011 returning State Champions. The Whiteville team also 
received the honors for All-Cape Fear region baseball coach of the 
year, Brett Harwood, and player of the year, Nathan Hood.
  As founder of the Congressional Caucus on Youth Sports, a long-time 
little league coach and one who grew up playing baseball, I appreciate 
the dedication, determination, and teamwork that earned these players 
the esteemed title of State Champions. I am also impressed by Coach 
Brett Harwood who led this team to victory, as well as the parents of 
each player and the Whiteville community as a whole for supporting 
these young baseball players as they worked to achieve their dream.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to ask my colleagues to join me in 
recognizing the Whiteville High School baseball team, and wishing them 
the very best in all of their future endeavors.
