                   CONGRATULATING VINCENT HIGH SCHOOL

  (Mr. Palmer of Alabama was recognized to address the House for 5 
minutes.)
  Mr. PALMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Vincent High 
School on winning the baseball State championship for the 2A division 
in Alabama.
  On Monday night, the Vincent Yellow Jackets were headed into the 
bottom of the seventh inning, tied 1-1 with Pike Liberal Arts. That is 
when Landon Archer delivered an RBI single that sealed the deal and 
crowned the Yellow Jackets as State champions for the first time in 40 
years.
  The Vincent players demonstrated the kind of grit, teamwork, and 
commitment to excellence that define championship-winning programs. If 
the State of Alabama knows anything, we know what it means to win a 
championship.
  Congratulations to Coach Timothy Junkins, MVP Landon Archer, and the 
entire team on a fantastic season. They have made their school and 
entire community proud. I couldn't be more excited to join them in 
honoring the team's success.


                 Congratulating Hackleburg High School

  Mr. PALMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize my alma mater, 
Hackleburg High School, on winning the 1A baseball State championship.
  In the fourth inning, the Panthers were tied with Leroy High School 
4-4. Ross Hudson, who was named MVP, singled, driving in the go-ahead 
run that proved to be the difference. Pitchers Maddox Vickery and 
Blaise Vickery held Leroy scoreless for the remainder of the game, 
securing the 1A championship. This was Hackleburg's second State 1A 
championship in baseball.
  As a proud alumnus, I stand here excited to congratulate Coach Jon 
McKinney and the entire team on an incredible season and for winning 
the title of State champion for the first time since 2007.


           Congratulating Second Lieutenant Caroline Robinson

  Mr. PALMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate Second Lieutenant 
Caroline Robinson on her graduation from the United States Military 
Academy at West Point.
  A little over 4 years ago, I had the honor of nominating Caroline to 
West Point when she was a student at Mountain Brook High School. While 
at West Point, Caroline earned the rank of First Captain of the Corps 
of Cadets, which is the highest ranking cadet in the Corps of Cadets' 
chain of command.
  Second Lieutenant Robinson will now report for active duty at Fort 
Sill, Oklahoma.
  I am proud of Caroline and her desire to serve our Nation as an 
officer in the United States Army. I know she will serve our Nation 
with great distinction and honor.
