 RECOGNIZING THE WINDSOR/STEWARDSON-STRASBURG HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN SHIMKUS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 27, 2018

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the Windsor/Stewardson-
Strasburg High School Softball Team. The WSS Hatchets are now the 2018 
IHSA Class 1A State Champions.
  The Hatchets won the state title game 8-5 to cap off a season with a 
record of 28 wins and four losses before facing the Goreville Blackcats 
in an exciting championship game. The Blackcats had a terrific 
performance, mounting a comeback after facing a six-run deficit to 
begin the game. However, due to their stellar pitching and timely 
hitting, the WSS Hatchets earned a hard-fought and well-deserved 
victory.
  I would like to congratulate the entire WSS Softball Team on their 
victory: Megan Schlechte, Machenzi Tabbert, Ava Bennett, Hannah Hayes, 
Mackinzee Reynolds, Carson Cole, Sydney Taber, Katrina Davis, Mackenzie 
Brown, Theresa Davis, Anna Schlechte, Taylor Rentfro, Calla Roney, 
Madison Everett, Kassie Vonderheide, Makenna Taber, Paig Rentfro, 
Maggie Kelly and their coach Craig Moffett. Congratulations on a superb 
end to a great season.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor for me to acknowledge the hard work and 
dedication of the Windsor/Stewardson-Strasburg High School Softball 
Team in winning the 2018 IHSA Class 1A State Title. I wish the team and 
their coach all the best in the future.
