                   CHEROKEE TRAIL BOYS BASEBALL TEAM

  (Mr. COFFMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the boys baseball 
team of Cherokee Trail High School on winning the 2016 Colorado 5A 
State championship game on May 29, 2016.
  The students and staff who were a part of the title-winning Cougars 
team deserve to be honored for winning the State championship for the 
first time since they won the 4A State championship in 2007. The 
Cougars beat Rocky Mountain High School 5-1 in the series, and ended 
the season with a winning 22-5 record.
  Throughout the season, the boys of the Cherokee Trail baseball team 
were dedicated, worked hard, and persevered. These traits were a key 
factor in their endeavor to win the championship, but winning could not 
have been possible without the tireless leadership of their head coach, 
Allan Dyer, and his commendable staff.
  It is with great pride that I join all of the residents of Aurora, 
Colorado, in congratulating the Cherokee Trail Cougars on their State 
championship.
