     CONGRATULATING WESLEYAN, WEST STOKES AND WESTCHESTER ON THEIR 
                             CHAMPIONSHIPS

                                  _____
                                 

                           HON. HOWARD COBLE

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 17, 2014

  Mr. COBLE. Mr. Speaker, in sports, winning a championship is an 
incredible accomplishment. I am proud to announce that Wesleyan 
Christian Academy, West Stokes High, and Westchester Country Day all 
recently won state titles. All of these schools are either in the Sixth 
District of North Carolina or our constituents attend these fine 
institutions.
  The softball team at Wesleyan Christian Academy recently won the 
North Carolina Independent Schools Athletic Association 3A softball 
championship for the first time in the school's history. The Lady 
Trojans credit their success to the strong bond the team formed after a 
fellow teammate experienced a critical medical condition. Players 
Taylor Bisbee and Taylor Travis received the American Red Cross 
Certificate of Merit Award for their courageous acts towards their 
teammate in need.
  The West Stokes girls' soccer team defeated Washington 2-0 to bring 
home the North Carolina High School Athletic Association 2A state 
title. The Lady Wildcats believe it was their refuse-to-lose attitude 
that helped them capture the soccer program's first state title: Team 
captains Taylor Hooper and Tori Van Meter received individual honors. 
Hooper was named the championship's Most Valuable Player, while Van 
Meter received the NCHSAA Sportsmanship Award.
  Westchester Country Day recently won the North Carolina Independent 
Schools Athletic Association 2A state championships for baseball and 
golf. This is the third straight year the baseball team has brought 
home a state title and is the third in four years for the golf team.
  On behalf of the citizens of the Sixth District of North Carolina, we 
congratulate Wesleyan Christian Academy, West Stokes High, and 
Westchester Country Day for winning state championships.
