                        Tuesday, October 4, 2022

  Mr. GUEST. Madam Speaker, it is my privilege to recognize the 
Northwest Rankin High School baseball team players and coaches for 
their outstanding championship season. The Northwest Rankin Cougars 
displayed admirable attributes including integrity, sportsmanship, and 
perseverance throughout a lengthy and successful season. I would like 
to honor this group of committed young men, coaches, and their families 
who worked diligently to bring the Mississippi 6A state championship to 
Rankin County, Mississippi.
  At Trustmark Park in Pearl, the third and final game of the 6A state 
championship series featured the Northwest Rankin Cougars defeating 
Desoto Central by a score of 3-2. This is Northwest Rankin's second 
state baseball championship in program history. The Cougars won 34 
games with only three losses this season.
  The resilience and leadership displayed by the players are 
characteristics of Northwest Rankin's head coach, KK Aldridge, who was 
named the Priority One Bank/Mississippi Scoreboard Metro Jackson Coach 
of the Year last season.
  It is my honor to recognize the Northwest Rankin High School baseball 
team for inspiring countless young men and citizens across our 
community, and I ask my colleagues in the House to join me in 
congratulating the Northwest Rankin Cougars for their dedication and 
commitment to excellence in our nation's past time, the great sport of 
baseball.
