     HONORING NINE SOFTBALL PLAYERS FOR RECEIVING ALL-STATE HONORS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JACK BERGMAN

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 28, 2017

  Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Speaker, it's my honor to recognize nine exceptional 
young women from Michigan's First District who have been recognized as 
All-State athletes in the state of Michigan by the Michigan High School 
Softball Coaches Association. Receipt of All-State Honors signifies 
that these young women dedicated themselves entirely, through countless 
hours of practice and preparation, to their sport.
   These outstanding young women may represent different schools and 
different teams, but they all share a unique love of the game. Onaway 
Cardinals pitcher Calley Selke, for instance, earned the right to be 
called an All-State athlete.
   Additionally, the Alpena Wildcats took their seventh straight Big 
North Conference title with outfielder Liz Kendziorski and utility 
player Jade Schultz represented among those who earned All-State 
Honors.
   The Rogers City Hurons had several players who were selected to 
receive All-State Honors including pitcher Jayna Hance, shortstop Kayla 
Rabeau, third baseman Hannah Fleming, outfielder Taylor Fleming, and 
designated player Saige Wagner. These young women led the Hurons to 
their sixth straight district title and fourth regional title in five 
years.
   Not to be outdone, the Indian River Inland Lakes Bulldogs, a team 
that boasted two All-State athletes of its own in pitcher Chloe Mallory 
and catcher Pamela Braund, ultimately prevailed as Division 4 State 
Champs.
   Mr. Speaker, it's my honor to recognize these young women as 
recipients of All-State Honors for the sport of softball. Their 
accomplishments have brought pride to their teams, schools, and 
hometowns. They have set a positive example of what is possible for 
anyone in Michigan's First District. On behalf of my constituents, I 
wish to congratulate Jayna Hance, Kayla Rabeau, Hannah Fleming, Taylor 
Fleming, Saige Wagner, Chloe Mallory, Pamela Braund, Calley Selke, Liz 
Kendziorski, and Jade Schultz and wish them all the best in their 
future endeavors.
