                    CELEBRATING NEW PRAIRIE BASEBALL

  (Mr. YAKYM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YAKYM. Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate excellence in athletics 
and to highlight a very special group of Hoosiers.
  A year ago, the New Prairie High School girls softball team won the 
3A State championship, marking the Cougars first-ever State title in 
any sport.
  Apparently, the boys didn't want to be shown up by the girls because 
last month the New Prairie baseball team also won the 3A State title 
for their first title in program history.
  In their 7-2 win over the Brebeuf Jesuit Braves, the Cougars were 
carried by a stellar and outstanding performance from starting pitcher 
Tyson Greenwood.
  All season long, the Cougars counted on the bat of sophomore 
sensation Reed Robinson whose 43 RBIs were the second most in all of 
Indiana.
  Congratulations to Cougars Head Coach Mark Schellinger and all the 
young men on an incredible season and for bringing another State title 
back to Indiana's Second District.
  Mr. Speaker, I thank them for making the New Prairie community very 
proud.
  May God bless them, and go Cougars.
