             IN HONOR OF THE CHANTILLY BOYS' BASEBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. BARBARA COMSTOCK

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, July 1, 2016

  Mrs. COMSTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the boys' baseball 
team from Chantilly High School in my District who recently won the 
2016 6A Virginia State Championship. They practiced long hours as a 
team, and this 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.
  The Chantilly boys' baseball 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 Chantilly boys' baseball 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 unfortunately had come up short the previous two years, and 
came into this year's final determined to be victorious. Seven innings 
into the state championship final, they found themselves down two 
scores to their zero. Thinking back to the previous two years of 
disappointment, they dug deep and rallied to score three quick runs to 
win the state title by just one run in an exhilarating fashion.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in honoring the 
Chantilly boys' baseball team for their achievement and representing 
Virginia's 10th Congressional District with such distinction. I wish 
them all the best in their future endeavors.
