                         Thursday, May 23, 2019

  Mr. HOLDING. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Cape Fear 
Christian Academy Women's Softball team for winning the North Carolina 
Independent Schools Athletic Association 1A state championship. Led by 
coach Sterling Holmes and assistant coach Craig Autry, the CFCA 
softball team has officially won seven state titles.
  As a 4th seed road team, the Cape Fear Christian Academy Eagles had 
an impressive record in the Final Four. In their first game of the 
weekend, the Eagles challenged the No. 1 seed Lawrence Academy and beat 
them with a score of 7-2. Both their batting and fielding was 
remarkable in their later game against No. 2 seed Ridgecroft School, 
which they won with 11 points against Ridgecroft's zero. The final 
score for the state title was 9-6 against Pungo Christian Academy.
  I am very proud of the Eagles on this major accomplishment. Madam 
Speaker, please join me in congratulating Aubree Bass, Kristen Bass, 
Leah Brannon, Natalia Brocious, McKenzie Burris, Gabbi Chiodo, Rebekah 
Ennis, Shelby Hodges, Harmony Horne, Jada Horne, Rhyleigh Horne, 
Trinity Olive, Paige Jeffries, Anslee McLamb, Claire Parker, Meghan 
Taylor, and Averi Williams, as well as their coaches, families, fans, 
and Cape Fear faculty who supported them on their road to victory.
