 CONGRATULATING FARMVILLE CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL'S 2005 VARSITY BASEBALL 
                                  TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. WALTER B. JONES

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 16, 2006

  Mr. JONES of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, though it is now 2006, I 
want to take the opportunity to recognize, on two separate occasions, 
two great success stories from my district last year.
  One great success story from eastern North Carolina in 2005 is an 
outstanding athletic achievement from my hometown of Farmville.
  Though Farmville Central High School's 2005 boy's varsity baseball 
team began their season with a rocky start, the Jaguars were able to 
turn their season around and capture the school's very first State 
baseball championship.
  I am very proud of my hometown team's record and their historic 
victory in the North Carolina High School Athletic Association State I-
A championship in June of 2005.
  I wish to congratulate all of the team's coaches and players: Head 
Coach John Galeazzi; Assistant Coaches Ed Hines and Brian Perry; 
Statistician Joe Allen; Athletic Director Dixon Sauls; Players: Justin 
Bagley, Chad Bagley, Brad Bagley, Bill Fisher, Cameron Moore, Robbie 
Jones, Spencer Albritton, Jonathan Landen, Brandon Cox, Landon Walker, 
Tommy Cobb, Chris Tomlin, Jordan Corbett, Will Rhem, Mike Dail, Warren 
Rhem, and Craven Taylor.
  Mr. Speaker, I, like many of my colleagues in Congress, have had the 
fortunate opportunity of playing on a high school State championship 
team. More than 40 years later, I can still vividly recall in my mind 
the wonderful memory of the night my high school basketball team at 
Hargrave Military Academy won the Military League Championship.
  I close by once again congratulating the coach and players of the 
2005 Farmville Central High School varsity baseball team for their hard 
work, and for their success in achieving an athletic victory which they 
will remember with pride for years to come.
