  RECOGNIZING NORTHSIDE HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL TEAM FOR WINNING CLASS 3 
                           STATE CHAMPIONSHIP

  (Mr. CLINE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLINE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Northside 
High School Women's Softball team on winning the class 3 State 
championship, the program's first State title since 2010 and its second 
win in history.
  Beating the York Falcons by 3-1, the Vikings delivered strong 
performances needed to win.
  These talented athletes include Baylee Compton, McKenzie Taylor, 
Leila Aguilar, Sydney Jordan, Karlee Austin, and Abbie Caldwell.
  Baylee pitched a five-hitter for the Vikings, striking out 16 of the 
Falcons' players and walking one.
  The Vikings scored twice in the top of the fifth to grab a 2-1 lead. 
In the seventh inning, the ladies scored another run, then held strong 
on defense to prevent the Falcons from catching up.
  Mr. Speaker, all of these young ladies are a true testament that with 
hard work and determination, you can achieve your dreams.
  We congratulate, again, all of the players, Coach Kassie Brammer, 
their families, as well as the Northside faculty and staff.
  Virginia's Sixth Congressional District is incredibly proud of their 
accomplishment.
