                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 18, 2019

  Mr. GRIFFITH. Madam Speaker, it is my pleasure to commend the Auburn 
High School girls tennis team, which captured the Virginia High School 
League (VHSL) Class 1 team state title on June 8, 2019. The Eagles put 
on a first-rate performance, defeating an excellent team from 
Rappahannock High School by a score of 5-4.
  This marks the second consecutive season in which the Eagles have 
captured the VHSL Class 1 state championship. A victory from Auburn's 
No. 1 doubles pair Haley Gordon and Molly McMichael clinched the title, 
capping off just under 5\1/2\ hours of competition on the day between 
the two squads. I applaud the hard work and dedication of all members 
of this year's Auburn High School girls tennis team, and congratulate 
the administrators, teachers, coaches, parents, students, and fans. In 
particular I would like to recognize the contributions of the team's 
seniors, and their head coach Conrad Nester. Congratulations on a great 
end to the season.

                          ____________________
