         CONGRATULATING THE WAIPIO LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. CHARLES K. DJOU

                               of hawaii

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 23, 2010

  Mr. DJOU. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Waipio Little 
League Baseball Team of Waipahu, Hawai'i for their outstanding 
achievements as National Champions in the 2010 Little League World 
Series.
  The Waipio team competed against the best Little League teams in 
America. The team defeated Texas in the U.S. Championship game with an 
impressive 10 to 0 victory. The Waipio team then represented the U.S. 
in the International Championship game against Japan. Although Japan 
came out ahead that day, the Waipio team kept the fans cheering and 
chanting ``U.S.A.'' through the game's conclusion.
  I am thrilled that our hometown teams are continuing Hawaii's 
tradition of Little League success and honorable sportsmanship. 
Americans across the country are proud of the effort and spirit 
displayed by these young players. While the practices, training, and 
games are an important part in the team's success, the coaches, parents 
and the community serve vital roles in supporting the team.
  On behalf of the citizens of the 1st Congressional District of 
Hawai'i, I extend my congratulations to 2010 Little League World Series 
National Champions, the Waipio Baseball team, for their amazing 
achievements throughout the season.
