                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. SAXBY CHAMBLISS

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, November 4, 1999

  Mr. CHAMBLISS. Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate the Lady Trojans 
Girls Softball Team of Telfair County High School in McRae, GA for 
recently capturing the Class A State Championship title in girls 
softball. This fine group of young women and their coaches from 
Georgia's 8th district deserve great recognition for their hard work 
and success.
  This is not only a victory for these fine young women, but for their 
school as well, as it is the first State Championship for Telfair 
County in over 30 years and the first ever in softball. The Lady 
Trojans have won four straight area titles and have advanced to the 
playoffs three times in the last 4 years.
  I want to congratulate Telfair County Head Coach Colby Taylor, Coach 
Becky Hamilton, and Coach Randy Pope for their leadership and 
dedication to the team. Coaches spend every day of their lives building 
character, integrity, and determination in our young people and I want 
to commend each of them for their commitment and service.
  I also want to take this time to recognize the Lady Trojans 
individually. The 1999 players are Falon Wooten, Kamika Collins, Haley 
Clarke, Cameo Cooper, Karla Hamilton, Jodi Burress, Heather McGowan, 
Davitta Jones, Kaycee Pope, Judy McRae, Sam Wilmouth, Danyelle 
Williams, Melonie Wilcox, Latoria Mathis, and Paige Froug. This is an 
outstanding group of athletes.
  Mr. Speaker, victory cannot be achieved without the hard work, 
talent, and perseverance of every single athlete and the strong 
leadership and direction of the coaches. The Lady Trojans truly are a 
team to be proud of, and it is an honor for me to represent Telfair 
County, GA in the People's House. The Lady Trojans made history this 
year, and I look forward to many more victories from this outstanding 
team in the years to come.
