  Mr. BABIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Deer Park 
High School Deer for winning the Texas University Interscholastic 
League (UIL) 6A Baseball State Championship. The Deer accumulated a 
record of 35-8 on the way to the state title with playoff wins against: 
Summer Creek, Pearland, Clear Springs, Ridge Point, Fort Bend Travis, 
and Southlake Carroll. This is the first baseball championship for Deer 
Park and the fourth time the school has made it to the state 
tournament.
  On June 10, 2017, the Deer dispatched San Antonio Reagan in the 
championship game by a score of 7-2 at the Dell Diamond in Round Rock. 
Four players were named to the All-Tournament Team: Clay Aguilar, Chase 
Keng, Blake Martin, and Adrian Gonzales who was named Tournament Most 
Valuable Player (MVP). These young men have shown incredible 
persistence, hard work, passion and commitment to accomplish this feat 
and I applaud each and every one of them. I would like to personally 
recognize each student and their coaches.
  Players: Mark Barrow, Connor Berry, Tyler Stenberg, Blaine Holden, 
Reece Moon, Jacobe Martinez, Clay Aguilar, Chase Keng, Christian Vela, 
Dylan Pullig, Josiah Ortiz, Austin Mitchell, Taylor Lee, Connor 
Williams, Jordan Phillips, JT Satterwhite, Peyton Sherlin, Chase 
Duncan, Adrian Gonzales, Blake Martin, and Kolton Fowler. Head Coach: 
Chris Rupp. Assistant Coaches: Donnie Elliott, Darren Schneider, Austin 
Yager, Jacob Rhame, and David White. Athletic Trainers: Jim Davidson, 
Lori Mahan, and David Viaclovsky. Managers: Gabby Gallegos and McKade

  I wish each one of them continued success on and off the baseball 
field. Go Deer!
