                 RECOGNIZING THE CANYON LAKE ALL STARS

 Mr. JOHNSON of South Dakota. Mr. President, I wish to 
recognize the coaches and players of the Canyon Lake All-Stars of Rapid 
City, SD. The Canyon Lake All-Stars represented the Midwest Region in 
this year's Little League World Series.
   It was only the third time in the 75-year history of the Little 
League World Series that a team from South Dakota made it to the 
tournament. This year's team joins the 2008 Canyon Lake All-Stars and 
the 2011 Harney All-Stars in representing South Dakota as the Midwest 
Region champions and becomes the first South Dakota team to win a 
Little League World Series game.
   I wish to congratulate and recognize the hard-work of the 2014 
Canyon Lake All-Stars. They represented South Dakota well in the 
national spotlight. Players on the team are Jake Kostenbauer, Logan 
Miller, Bridger Nesbit, Daniel Vigoren, Colton Hartford, Cooper 
Voorhees, Adam Salter, True Synhorst, Mason Litz, Matthew Hegre, Blake 
Weaver, and Dylan Richey. The manager is Rich Hegre, and assistant 
coaches are Steve Richey and Scott Spencer. Their efforts produced 
lasting memories and the entire state of South Dakota is proud of their 
accomplishments.
