              CONGRATULATING THE AMHERST ALL STAR DARLINGS

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Virginia (Mr. Cline) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. CLINE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an incredible 
achievement in youth sports. The Amherst All Star Darlings, a girls' 
youth softball team of 7- and 8-year-olds, just finished their season 
undefeated.
  After winning both the district and State championships, they have 
set their eyes on Cochran-Bleckley, Georgia, where the girls' softball 
world series will be played later this month.
  These young ladies worked hard and enjoyed the competition, and their 
determination to win throughout the length of their season has been 
unmatched.
  Now, they are planning and working toward making their trip to 
Georgia possible to get the chance to make this Cinderella story a 
reality.
  Their efforts are a story of camaraderie, hard work, and laying the 
foundation for a bright future not only in sports but in all of their 
future endeavors.
  Amherst has been a special part of the Sixth District for decades, 
and it has been an honor to represent the people of Amherst, first in 
Richmond and now in Washington. The Sixth District, along with the 
entire Commonwealth of Virginia, will be cheering them on when they 
compete on July 31 in the Dixie youth softball league world series.
  Congratulations to the Amherst All Star Darlings for representing 
friends and family, the Amherst community, and the entire Commonwealth 
of Virginia so well.
