  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize recent athletic 
victories within my district. I am proud to announce that the Colony 
High School softball team claimed the title of state champions this 
spring.
   Coach Deana Coleman led the Colony Cougars to their first appearance 
in the UIL Class 5A state championship, and sophomore Karlie Charles 
was named the game's most valuable player. Furthermore, five team 
members have joined the 5A 2017 All-Tournament Team. I would like to 
congratulate the Colony High School softball team on its successful 
2017 season, capped off by this well-deserved state championship.
   It is my honor to represent the Colony High School softball team in 
the U.S. House of Representatives. These dedicated student athletes and 
their coaches have represented the 26th District well, and our 
community looks forward to more successful seasons to come.
