                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 30, 2013

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I ask for the House's attention 
today to pay special tribute to a group of young people in my 
Congressional district from Montgomery, Alabama. These girls, the 
Montgomery American Angels All Star Team, will be traveling to 
Alexandria, Louisiana, this week to play in the Dixie Youth Softball 
World Series.
  Although they are ages nine and 10, these girls have shown tremendous 
maturity and skill both on and off the field. They currently hold the 
titles of Dixie Youth Softball Angel Division X-Play District Runner-
ups and Dixie Youth Softball Angel Division X-Play State Champs. By 
winning both their Division and State titles, they will now represent 
the great state of Alabama in the World Series.
  These 12 girls and their three coaches have become the first Angels 
team from Montgomery American to ever advance to the World Series. They 
will be traveling over 500 miles from home in the hopes of winning a 
World Series Title.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating this team and wishing 
them the best of luck as they travel to the Dixie Youth Softball World 
Series.
