“I rise to recognize an exceptional group of young athletes from Virginia's Sixth Congressional District, the Broadway High School girls' softball team, who captured their school's first-ever VHSL Class 3 State championship. The Gobblers completed a remarkable 23-4 season, earning Valley District, Region C, and State titles. Their dominant run included two perfect games and 12 shutouts, and they outscored opponents 216-48 along the way. This championship was made possible by the outstanding efforts of the team's players: Cathryn Caffrey, Lilah Deavers, April Gingerich, Annaleah Grither, Sarah Grither, Kaleigh Harper, Courtney Hensley, Savannah Janzen, Alexia Lambert, Emma Morris, Ashlyn Spitzer, Brooklyn Spitzer, Hannah Tinnell, and Madalyn Wolfe. Their success was guided by Head Coach Becky Cantrell and Assistant Coaches Daren Lam, John Jenkel, Emma Earhart, Morgan Landes, and Aleisha Lambert. Special commendation goes to pitcher Lilah Deavers, a Division I commit and first-team all-State, and to catcher Madalyn Wolfe, also first-team, All-State, whose leadership anchored the team throughout the season. Mr. Speaker, I congratulate these great athletes, their coaches, and the entire Broadway community on a historic and inspiring championship year.”
