             IN HONOR OF THE WOODGROVE GIRLS' SOFTBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. BARBARA COMSTOCK

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 20, 2016

  Mrs. COMSTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the girls' softball 
team from Woodgrove High School in my District who recently won the 
2016 4A Virginia State Championship. They practiced long hours as a 
team, and this extraordinary achievement shows how far dedication, hard 
work, and commitment to teamwork can take a group as they played 
against some of the best competition in the nation.
  Woodgrove High School girls' softball team has made Virginia's 10th 
Congressional District proud and they have represented us well. Winning 
a state championship attests to their impressive athletic ability, 
unselfish mentality, and determination to succeed. I commend them for 
their tireless dedication to both their school and their teammates, 
without neither of which this could have been possible. It takes a 
delicate combination of superior skill and many hours of practice to 
win a state title. The Woodgrove High School girls' softball team has 
certainly earned this honor and the lessons learned over the years will 
valuably serve them as they continue on in their lives.
  This team has captured three state titles in the past five years and 
their dominance was on display during 2016's title game where they 
crushed Fauquier an impressive 19-0. I am proud that their efforts this 
year paid off as they won a much-deserved state title.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in honoring Woodgrove 
High School's softball team for their achievement and for representing 
Virginia's 10th Congressional District with such distinction. I wish 
them all the best in their future endeavors.
