CONGRATULATING THE PATRIOTS OF PACE HIGH SCHOOL ON BECOMING THE REGION 
                  1, CLASS 5A BASEBALL STATE CHAMPIONS

  (Mr. MILLER of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to rise today 
and congratulate the Patriots of Pace High School for becoming the 
Region 1, Class 5A baseball state champions.
  Pace High School's varsity baseball team, led by Coach Charlie 
Warner, finished the season with an impressive 31-2 record. The 
Patriots went unbeaten against Florida competition and won their last 
25 games.
  For their dominance on the baseball diamond, the Patriots of Pace 
High earned a number one ranking from ESPN and were crowned ESPN's RISE 
FAB 50 national champions.
  Now, while the Patriots achieved their goal and brought home a state 
championship, it was not done without countless hours of practice and 
immeasurable amounts of sacrifice. The time they spent together on and 
off the field will not only be remembered for capturing a second state 
title in 5 years, but the forged friendships and lessons learned will 
never be forgotten.
  Once again, I would like to congratulate Pace High School's baseball 
team on winning their fourth state championship. My wife Vicki and I 
are extremely proud of these young men.
