        IN RECOGNITION OF THE LAKEWOOD HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. PATRICK J. TIBERI

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 6, 2016

  Mr. TIBERI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Lakewood High 
School for winning the Division II Ohio High School Softball State 
Championship.
  An achievement such as this certainly deserves recognition. The Ohio 
High School Athletic Association has enabled talented teams and 
individuals to earn state titles since its founding in 1907. Throughout 
this time, the champions of OHSAA state level competitions have 
represented the highest achieving and most talented athletes in Ohio. 
Each year these elite competitors join the ranks of those who embody 
Ohio's proud history of athletic success.
  Lakewood's victory caps a tremendous season. This sort of achievement 
is earned only through many hours of practice, perspiration and hard 
work. They have set a new standard for future athletes to reach. 
Everyone at Lakewood High School can be extremely proud of their 
performance.
  On behalf of the citizens of Ohio's 12th Congressional District, I 
congratulate Lakewood Softball on their state championship. I wish 
their team continued success in their future athletic endeavors.
