Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Willcox softball's little league team for their perseverance and their hard work. After winning back-to-back Arizona Little League State titles, this team was crowned as this West Region Champions and were invited to play at the World Series Tournament. Unfortunately, they came up a little short in a 5-2 defeat in one of the elimination games, but we are so proud of them. While they were not able to make it all the way, I know that Cochise County and the entire State of Arizona is incredibly proud of the Willcox softball's first World Series appearance. They are only the fifth team from southern Arizona to ever make it this far. They have made our district proud with their resilience and competitive spirit. They must keep up the great work. {time} 1030 Congratulating University of Arizona President Dr. Suresh Garimella
