                      Wednesday, November 17, 2004

  Mr. LEWIS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Owensboro Southern Little League Baseball Team for their remarkable 
season and recent participation in the Little League World Series in 
Williamsport, Pennsylvania. They demonstrated great sportsmanship 
before a national audience, representing competitive values that make 
Kentucky proud.
  The hours of extra practice under the leadership of Manager Vic 
Evans, Jr, brought this impressive distinction to the State of Kentucky 
and City of Owensboro. I want my colleagues in the House of 
Representatives to know of the pride that I have in representing these 
athletes and their families.
  I would like to commend Owensboro Southern for their magnificent 
season--an effort that epitomized team work, sportsmanship, and 
persistence. I ask my colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives 
to join me in congratulating these young athletes for their achievement 
and wish them continued success in seasons to come
