                 RECOGNIZING THE ALLEMAN SOFTBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. CHERI BUSTOS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 18, 2014

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding 
results achieved by the Alleman Pioneers against the Teutopolis Wooden 
Shoes in the 2A Illinois state softball championship game on June 7, 
2014.
   I congratulate the Pioneers for winning the Illinois 1A state 
championship. This hard fought victory by Alleman gives the school the 
only program in state history to have won a softball title in three 
different classes. The Pioneers now hold titles in Class A (1992, 1993, 
1994, 1998), Class 2A (2014) and Class AA (1985).
   The school and the entire community should be extremely proud of the 
effort put forth by Alleman, which concluded the season with a record 
of 10-3.
   Mr. Speaker, I am extremely proud of the accomplishments of the 
Alleman softball team, both on and off the field, and I am honored to 
salute them today.
