                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 26, 2007

  Mr. BRADY of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the Jasper High 
School Bulldogs on their 3A Texas State Baseball Championship. Jasper, 
TX, is an enchanting town in southeast Texas and a proud part of the 
Eighth Congressional District.
  The Bulldogs stormed through the State Tournament outscoring their 
opponents 25-7, including a 14-4 victory in the final game to set a 
record for most runs in the 3A State Championship game. This was their 
first trip to the finals, after semi-final runs five previous times.
  Every member of the team contributed over their championship run and 
Ryan Ellis was named the most valuable player of the state tournament 
after he drove in four runs with three hits and pitched the final 2\1/
3\ innings in relief of starter Aaron Stephenson. The Bulldogs played 
with a team mentality the entire season, and they should all be proud 
to call themselves champions.
  Members and staff of the Championship winning team include: Head 
Coach: Shawn Mixon; Assistant Coaches: Steve Smith, David Ford, Joey 
Brown; and Players: Malcolm Bronson, Ryan Ellis, Taylor Hart, Justin 
Parsons, Chantz Pryor, Blake Weller-Alexander, Jaylon Clotiaux, Robert 
Shellhammer, Aaron Stephenson, Cord Yates, Travis Reagan, John Bradley, 
Garrett Harrell, Fermin Gonzalez, Parker Phillips, Tyler Ernest, Ty 
Parker, Matthew Daniel, and Marx Marcantel.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in honoring the Jasper Bulldogs as they 
continue to be champions both on and off the field.
