         COMMENDING THE AUBURN HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS SOFTBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. H. MORGAN GRIFFITH

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 25, 2019

  Mr. GRIFFITH. Madam Speaker, it is my pleasure to commend the Auburn 
High School softball team, which captured the Virginia High School 
League (VHSL) Class 1 state title on June 14, 2019. The Eagles put on a 
dominant performance, handily defeating a quality team from 
Rappahannock County High School by a score of 18 to 1.
  This victory carries particular meaning, as it is Auburn High 
School's first Class 1 VHSL girls softball state championship in its 
history. Their championship caps a 25-3 season. I applaud the hard work 
and dedication of all members of this year's Auburn High School girls 
softball 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 David 
Hurd. Congratulations on a great end to the season. It is another 
trophy in Auburn's impressive collection of championships this year. In 
fact, it came on the same day the Auburn baseball 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.
