    RECOGNIZING DUBOIS CENTRAL CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL'S SOFTBALL TEAM

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
the extraordinary achievements of DuBois Central Catholic High School's 
softball team on their first-ever State championship victory.
  On June 13, at Penn State's Medlar Field at Lubrano Park, this team 
made history by winning the school's first-ever PIAA single A crown 
State championship, defeating Carmichaels High School 2-0. DuBois 
Central completed its season with an outstanding 21-2 record.
  Marina Hanes put DuBois Central Catholic on the board in the fifth 
inning with a line double to left field. At the top of the sixth, her 
teammate, Melia Mitskavich, added another run to seal the deal for DCC.
  Mr. Speaker, this is a historic win for the Cardinals as it is their 
first State championship victory in program history. I am incredibly 
proud of the team and Coach Heigel for their heroic season.
  I congratulate the DCC Cardinals on this impressive victory.
