Mr. EDWARDS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to extend my heartfelt congratulations to the West Henderson High School baseball team for winning the North Carolina High School Athletic Association's 3A State championship.

This is West Henderson's first State championship baseball victory since 1992. It stands as a testament to the team's unwavering commitment, exceptional skill, and remarkable self-discipline and teamwork.

Led by their esteemed coach, Jackie Corn, the West Henderson High School baseball team's dedication and passion for the great American pastime has inspired everyone in western North Carolina.

I thank Coach Corn, along with Assistant Coaches Ryan Anderson, Anthony Lindsey, Jimmy Gash, and Chip Koontz, for leading West Henderson High to this exciting victory.

In recognizing this achievement, we also honor the parents and families who have helped these talented athletes to bring this prideful moment to western North Carolina.

As a proud graduate of West Henderson High School myself, I rise to say: Go Falcons.
