                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN SHIMKUS

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 31, 2017

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the Massac County Girls 
Golf team, who are the 2017 Class 1A Illinois team golf champions.
  Massac County's overall score of 89 was six shots better than its 
nearest competitor, as the Lady Patriots were led by two top 20 
finishers, with Millie Lawson placing 12th overall, and Emma Korte 
tying for 18th place. This championship is Massac County's fourth title 
in the last 12 years.
  I would like to congratulate the entire Massac County Girls Golf Team 
on this victory, Emma Korte, Millie Lawson, Madie Coakley, Mady Blair, 
Lauren Coakley, and Madison Cunningham, as well as Head Coach Laurie 
Glass, on a superb end to a great season.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the excellence of the Massac 
County Girls Golf Team in winning the 2017 state golf title, and I wish 
the players, and their coach, all the best in the future.
