                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. BLAINE LUETKEMEYER

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 27, 2011

  Mr. LUETKEMEYER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to ask my colleagues to 
join me in congratulating the Centralia High School Lady Panthers 
Softball team for winning the Class 3 Missouri State Championship on 
October 22, 2011.
  The young women and their coaches should be commended for all their 
hard work throughout the regular season and for bringing home the state 
softball championship to their school and community. In its final 
championship game against the Chillicothe Hornets, every team member 
made important contributions that led to the team's 2-0 win.
  This Lady Panthers team will hold a special place of honor in the 
history of Centralia High School for winning the school's first-ever 
softball state championship. The team finished the season with a 28-2-1 
record, including wins over this year's Class 1 and Class 2 softball 
champs.
  I ask that you join me in recognizing the Centralia Lady Panthers for 
a job well done!
