                          HARRISON HIGH SCHOOL

  (Mr. GINGREY of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GINGREY of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I want to offer my 
congratulations to Cobb County, Georgia's Harrison High School baseball 
team, managed by Mark Elkins, who defeated Lassiter in the Class AAAAA 
State championship series. Harrison triumphed over Lassiter with a 3-1 
victory in the title-clinching game of a very exciting and well-played 
series. Harrison's remarkable defense was on display throughout the 
entire series, with their fielding skills pacing them to the title.
  A few highlights included a diving catch by outfielder Michael 
Hodorowski to save a run in the opening game. In game two, outfielders 
Preston Neely and Matthew Allen gunned down runners at home, preventing 
Lassiter from scoring go-ahead runs. Harrison also pulled off three 
double plays in the last game, ensuring their pivotal victory.
  This is Harrison's first State title since 1998, making this a very 
special achievement. They are one of two schools from Georgia's 11th 
Congressional District to win State baseball championships this year, 
and I am very proud of their accomplishments.
  Congratulations, Harrison.
