CONGRATULATING THE NESHANNOCK HIGH LANCERS AND KNOCH HIGH KNIGHTS
PENNSYLVANIA STATE CHAMPION BASEBALL TEAMS
(Mr. KELLY of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to address
the House for 1 minute.)
Mr. KELLY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, it is my great pleasure to
congratulate not one, but two Pennsylvania State champion baseball
teams from the Third Congressional District. The Neshannock High
Lancers and Knoch High Knights capped off historic seasons last week to
take home the PIAA Class AA and AAA baseball championships.
It was the Lancers' second baseball State title in school history and
the first State title in any sport for the Knoch Knights.
[[Page H4363]]
It takes a lot of special people and a lot of hard work to mold a
champion, so I offer a sincere thank you to the players, to their
families, and to Lancer Coach Mike Kirkwood and Knight Coach George
Bradley for not bringing just a championship to your communities, but
just as importantly, the pride that comes with it.
Last week, your baseball teams earned a special place in the long and
storied history of western Pennsylvania student athletics. Because of
it, I am very proud to say: Go Lancers, and go Knights.
