             HONORING THE AUBURN HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. H. MORGAN GRIFFITH

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 25, 2019

  Mr. GRIFFITH. Madam Speaker, I offer these remarks in honor of the 
Auburn High School baseball team, which won the Virginia High School 
League 1A baseball championship at Radford University on June 14, 2019. 
The Eagles won a victory over Lancaster to reclaim the title, which 
they had previously won in 2017.
  Auburn's victory brought their season to 25-3. Excellent pitching 
held Lancaster to three hits, while Auburn scored nine runs to achieve 
a 9-0 victory. Congratulations are in order for the team and Coach Eric 
Altizer, as well as the student body, teachers, administrators, and 
fans at Auburn. I was particularly pleased to be able to congratulate 
them in person after the game. It is another trophy in Auburn's 
impressive collection of championships this year. In fact, it came on 
the same day the Auburn softball team won their title. It is truly 
remarkable when a high school wins two state championships not only in 
the same year, but on the same day.
