  Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 
Rappahannock High School Girls Tennis Team for capping off their 
undefeated season with the VHSL Class 1 State Championship.
  On June 8th, the Raiders ended their season on a high note. At the 
Burrows-Burleson Tennis Center at Virginia Tech, each member of the 
Rappahannock High School Girls Tennis Team had high level performances, 
defeating George Wythe 5-3. Leading up to the title match, the team had 
a 5-1 win over Buffalo Gap in the state semifinals and a 5-0 win over 
Riverheads in the state quarterfinals.
  I would like to recognize Head Coach Ms. Taylor Yeatman for her great 
leadership throughout the season. Next, I would like to recognize the 
student-athletes themselves for their hard work: Mackenzie Ferguson, 
Layla Gaines, Haley Haydon, Ciera Mundie, Sadie Packett, Virginia 
Trible, Averil Vaughan, Addison Vaughn, Laney Williams, and Maggie 
Wonderling.
  And finally, I would like to recognize the assistant coaches: Mr. 
Jamie Pritchard and Mr. Jackie Morris.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in recognizing the accomplishments 
and hard work of the student-athletes, coaches, and volunteers of the 
Rappahannock High School Girls Tennis Team. I look forward to seeing 
their continued excellence on the court.
