           IN HONOR OF THE OSBOURN PARK GIRLS' SOFTBALL TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. BARBARA COMSTOCK

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, July 1, 2016

  Mrs. COMSTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the girls' softball 
team from Osbourn Park High School in my District who recently won the 
2016 6A Virginia State Championship. They practiced long hours as a 
team, and this achievement shows how far dedication, hard work, and 
commitment to teamwork can take a group as they played against some of 
the best competition in the nation.
  The Osbourn Park girls' softball team has made Virginia's 10th 
Congressional District proud and they have represented us well. Winning 
a state championship attests to their impressive athletic ability, 
unselfish mentality, and determination to succeed. I commend them for 
their tireless dedication to both their school and their teammates, 
without neither of which this could have been possible. It takes a 
delicate combination of superior skill and many hours of practice to 
win a state title. The Osbourn Park girls' team has certainly earned 
this honor and the lessons learned over the years will valuably serve 
them as they continue on in their lives.
  This year, Osbourn Park broke a 12 year dry spell for Prince William 
County softball teams by winning the county's first statewide softball 
title since 2004. They played to the team's 20th straight win this 
season, jumping out to a two run lead early in the game, ultimately 
dominating their opponent 4-0. This senior-less team is sure to be 
successful in the years to come as they practice and grow together as a 
hard-working team of young women.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in honoring the Osbourn 
Park girls' softball team for their achievement and representing 
Virginia's 10th Congressional District with such distinction. I wish 
them all the best in their future endeavors.
