                      Wednesday, November 17, 2004

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the 
Edwardsville Girls' Golf Team. The Tigers recently won their first 
state championship in golf, finishing their season with a perfect 
record. This outstanding southern Illinois sports team is the first 
girls' golf team south of the state capitol to capture a state title.
  The Tigers' hard work and dedication to the sport this season has 
allowed them to capture this title. The Tigers performed twenty-three 
strokes better than all other teams in competition for the state title.
  My congratulations go to the Edwardsville Tigers Girls' Golf Team and 
retiring Coach Gary Bair on an outstanding season!
