  Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding 
feat achieved by the Rappahannock Lady Raiders softball team with their 
victory in the Division 1A Virginia High School League Championship.
  The Lady Raiders earned the 1A State Softball Championship title in 
an impressive 5-0 game with the William Campbell Lady Generals, winning 
their first State Championship in the program's history.
  During their historical championship season, the Lady Raiders secured 
an impressive record of 22-3, a testament to the team's commitment to 
performing at the highest level each and every time they stepped on the 
field.
  I would like to commend head coach Ellen Gaines and all those who are 
involved with the Lady Raiders for building this successful softball 
program into a championship winning team.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to stand today to recognize the school, the 
coaches, the fans, and most importantly, the players on their 
successful season and victory in the lA State Championship game.
