              RECOGNIZING TEXAS TECH GIRLS' SOFTBALL TEAM

  (Mr. Arrington of Texas was recognized to address the House for 5 
minutes.)
  Mr. ARRINGTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a group of 
remarkable young women from the plains of West Texas who are making 
history on the national stage, our Texas Tech Lady Raiders' softball 
team.
  These athletes have battled all season long, with an impressive 
drive, determination, and an unmistakable West Texas will to win that 
has taken them from the first Big 12 Championship in program history 
and a chance this week to win the College World Series.
  Coach Glasco and his Lady Raiders represent the best of West Texas 
values, hardworking, humble, and pure class on and off the field.
  All of West Texas and all of Red Raider Nation are cheering on the 
Lady Raiders, our fearless champions, as they fight for the scarlet and 
the black.
  The Lady Raiders need to go out there tonight, all gas and no brakes, 
and beat those Texas Longhorns and then turn around and beat them again 
and bring that championship trophy home to Lubbock, Texas, where 
it belongs.

  Guns up and go West Texas.
