                       Monday, November 14, 2016

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Pearland High 
School softball team for receiving two national honors.
  The Pearland Lady Oilers joined softball teams from across the 
country in raising $342,000 to support the National Fastpitch Coaches 
Association (NFCA) and the American Cancer Society's StrikeOut Cancer 
initiative. The Lady Oilers raised $4,000 for the organizations; more 
than any high school in the nation. The teams' coaches, Laneigh Clark, 
Michele Hyden, Lori Boyd, Tiffany Neal and Lauren Martens, were also 
recognized as the NFCA Regional Coaching Staff of the Year. The Lady 
Oilers made it the 2016 Class 6A Texas state championship game before 
losing in the final round.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to the Pearland Lady Oilers for receiving two 
national honors. We are very proud of them and look forward to seeing 
what they accomplish next season.
