                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN SHIMKUS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 19, 2001

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Hornettes of 
Nashville High School on their recent state softball championship. The 
Hornettes defeated the Stanford Olympia Spartans 3-0 to win their first 
ever Class A State Softball Championship.
  In addition to being crowned state champs, the Nashville Hornettes 
tied the state record for most wins in a season with 41 victories and 
only 2 losses. The team gave Nashville softball fans a thrill 
throughout their historic season.
  I would like to personally commend the team members and coaches for a 
job well done. They are: Cara Pries, Lindsay Henry, Tessa Schmale, Amy 
Harre, Amber Fark, Linda Maschhoff, Amy Rybacki, Ashley Schaeffer, 
Mallory Ruggles, Krystal Stein, Kristen Klingler, Danielle Kaufman, 
Chelsi Boatright, Nicole Richard, Danielle Chambers, Heather Guest, 
Sara Skibinski, Nicole Asberry, and Stephanie Niedbalski. Their coaches 
are: Neil Hamon, Wayne Harre, Charlie Heck, and Head Coach Chad Malawy. 
I am very proud of you all.
