  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the third state 
victory of the Nashville Community High School Hornettes as the Class 
2A softball state champions.
   On June 6, 2015, the Hornettes won the Class 2A State Championship 
in a 1-0 victory over Brimfield. I would like to congratulate freshman 
Mackenzie McFeron for scoring the game's only run, after reaching base 
on a bunt single.
   I would like to congratulate Coach Dempsey Witte for leading the 
team to three state trophies in the past four years. I would also like 
to congratulate senior, Maci Ingram, who pitched for the team in all 
three state appearances. My congratulations go out to the entire 
coaching staff and team comprised of: Maci Ingram, Jordi Harre, Emily 
Thompson, Daley Buchanan, Karly Stanowski, Brooke Bartling, Paige 
Kasten, Dierdra Holzhauer, Brooke Burcham, Mackenzie McFeron, Jordan 
Stiegman, Alli Liske, Bethany Hinkle, Charlie Heck, Dakota Hunter, 
Patrick Weathers, Joey Lane, trainer John Becker, and head coach 
Dempsey Witte.
   I look forward to the continued success of the Nashville Community 
High School Hornettes. I extend my best wishes for another outstanding 
season next year.
