                         Friday, August 3, 2007

  Mr. LEWIS of Kentucky. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Greenwood High School Lady Gators softball team. The Lady Gators won 
the Kentucky High School Athletic Association Fast Pitch Softball State 
Championship on June 9, 2007.
  Greenwood High School defeated Ryle High by a score of 4-0 to win 
their first state title. The victory capped off an amazing season for 
the Lady Gators. They finished the season with a record of 40-5, 
equaling the most single season wins in Kentucky High School history.
  Success is nothing new to the Greenwood High School softball program. 
The team has won 339 games since 1995, the fifth most in the state. 
Also, the Lady Gators have captured seven Fourth Region titles and nine 
straight District 14 crowns.
  I want to congratulate Coach Penny Reece's team for their outstanding 
achievement. Their hard work and sacrifice has made all of Warren 
County proud. I look forward to watching Greenwood High School defend 
their State Championship next season.
