  Mr. ROY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Boerne All-
Stars and their historic run in the 2024 Little League World Series.
  After going undefeated in local and regional games all summer long, 
the Boerne All-Stars punched their ticket to Williamsport, 
Pennsylvania.
  Representing the Southwest Region in the Little League World Series 
this year for the first time ever, the Boerne Little Leaguers came in 
fourth place in this year's tournament and came out of the winner's 
bracket undefeated.
  Led by Coach Jonathan Collins, Coach Bert Munoz, and Team Manager 
Justin Newson, the 12-strong team showed the entire world the grit and 
excellence that Boerne has to offer.
  This team is truly exceptional. One teammate, Kole Newson, underwent 
open heart surgery four years ago and still showed out to display what 
makes Texas so great. This entire team is full of amazing players. They 
went

undefeated in the winner's bracket and they all should be proud of 
their efforts.
  All these boys, Kaleb Christ, Jett Matthews, Doc Mogford, Gray 
Collins, Dylan Burke, Aiden Munoz, Gage Steubing, Kole Newson, Julian 
Hurst, Ben Burkhart, Cooper Hastings, and Caden Guffey have performed 
an amazing feat. The coaches, parents, and everyone in Boerne who 
mentored these boys, built them up, and supported them have done a 
great job and should be proud of what these boys did.
  I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the Boerne All-Stars; you 
have made all of Texas proud.
