       CONGRATULATING ANGELO STATE UNIVERSITY RAMS BASEBALL TEAM

  (Mr. PFLUGER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. PFLUGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 2023 NCAA 
Division II National Champion Angelo State University Rams baseball 
team.

[[Page H3077]]

  The Rams' championship is the first in history and the fifth national 
championship title at Angelo State. This is a time to reflect upon the 
diligence, sacrifice, and determination that these young men have 
contributed toward the national championship, and I especially want to 
recognize Head Coach Kevin Brooks and his coaching staff.
  Coach Brooks started the program in 2005 and has remained a dedicated 
leader of his team and of the young baseball players. I also want to 
recognize President Ronnie Hawkins for his leadership to the university 
and to the community.
  Mr. Speaker, baseball isn't the only good thing going on at Angelo 
State. There are many things to celebrate, but today, I congratulate 
the Rams. Their achievement will forever be etched in the annals of 
history. Their success is a source of pride for our entire community, 
and they will inspire future generations of Texas-11 athletes for years 
to come. Today, we celebrate their victory and the unyielding pursuit 
of excellence that it represents.
  Well done, Champions.
