                CONGRATULATING THE SUMRALL BASEBALL TEAM

  Mr. WICKER. Mr. President, I rise today to inform the Senate of the 
accomplishments of Mississippi's Sumrall High School varsity baseball 
team. Earlier this year, the Bobcats set a Mississippi record by 
winning 67 consecutive games and winning their third straight State 
championship, an impressive achievement worthy of recognition.
  The team fell just eight wins shy of breaking the national record for 
consecutive wins and secured their spot as the team with the Nation's 
fourth longest winning streak. Some teams might have been discouraged 
after a loss ended such an impressive streak, but the Bobcats regrouped 
and went on to win their final 11 games and their third consecutive 
Class 3-A State Championship. The Bobcats' state title and 36-1 record 
earned them the top spot in USA Today's national high school baseball 
rankings.
  Sumrall High's baseball staff consists of Head Coach Larry Knight and 
Assistant Coaches Steve Cooley, Andy Davis, Richard Broom, and Matt 
Thomas. The team members and coaching staff have demonstrated 
outstanding teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship. I congratulate the 
Sumrall High School baseball team and wish them continued success both 
on and off the field.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
