                         Thursday, May 30, 2019

  Mr. CORREA. Madam Speaker, I wish to recognize the Santiago High 
School softball team who recently won their first League Championship 
in school history and made it all the way to the CIF Southern Section 
Division 6 title game.
  Santiago High School's softball team truly had a storybook season, 
with an overall regular season record of 23-1. This is the best record 
in the school's nearly 60-year history.
  Additionally, Santiago High School went 9-1 in league play, clinching 
their first Garden Grove League Title. This was a moment of great pride 
for the school. The team began their extraordinary run through the CIF 
Southern Section Division 6 softball tournament as the number one seed 
and dominated their way through the playoffs.
  Their coach, Melissa Adams, reached her 100th win during the 2nd 
round of the playoffs becoming the first Santiago High School softball 
coach to reach 100 wins.
  Melissa and her coaching staff, Tony Adams and Manuel Cruz, led the 
team through an outstanding playoff run that led to their first title 
game in school history. While the team made a valiant effort, they fell 
just short of the title with a 3-2 loss.
  The Santiago High School softball team has truly been a dominating 
force on the softball field this season and have so much to be proud 
of. With only four seniors graduating, they will truly be a force to be 
reckoned with next season as they make a run for a Garden Grove League 
dynasty. The team is truly a special group of young women and I am 
proud to recognize all of their accomplishments.
