         CONGRATULATING NEW PALESTINE HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL TEAM

  (Mr. PENCE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. PENCE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the New 
Palestine High School softball team who capped their record-setting 
season with a 10-0 victory in the State title game.
  This is the Dragons' third State title in as many years. Over the 
last 3 years, this dynasty has been unstoppable. Their record is a 
staggering 90-6.
  This season the Dragons won each game of the State tournament by at 
least 10 runs, a feat which has never been accomplished in Indiana 
State history. They are also the first softball team in Indiana history 
to win back, to back, to back.
  Through everything, they personified hard work and team spirit, and I 
recognize Ed Marcum and the New Palestine Dragons for this historic 
accomplishment.
