            CONGRATULATING T.C. ROBERSON RAMS BASEBALL TEAM

  (Mr. EDWARDS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. EDWARDS. Mr. Speaker, we witnessed this week a remarkable 
baseball contest. In the Congressional Baseball Game, the Republicans 
defeated the Democrats 31-10, but, Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate and recognize some real baseball talent.
  I rise today to congratulate the T.C. Roberson Rams baseball team for 
winning North Carolina's High School Athletic Association's 4A State 
title for the second year in a row. The Rams finished the season with a 
14-game winning streak, and the team won a decisive 8-1 shutout 
victory.
  The Rams are now the third 4A school in North Carolina to win back-
to-back championships and the first to do so in two decades. Coach Eric 
Filipek has mentored this group of young men for more than 13 years, 
and his dedication has guided them to be better players and better 
leaders.
  Hopefully, one day, some of these great athletes will also join our 
congressional baseball team. I congratulate the Rams for, again, making 
western North Carolina proud.
