LITTLE LEAGUE GIRLS SOFTBALL TEAM
RESOLUTION TO BE PRESENTED FOR PLACING SECOND AT
LITTLE LEAGUE SOFTBALL WORLD SERIES
The Pequannock Little League Girls Softball Team will receive praise today by the New Jersey Legislature for a brilliant performance during their 2006 national title campaign. District 26 legislators Assembly Republican Leader Alex DeCroce, Assemblyman Joe Pennacchio and Senator Robert Martin will present the team with a resolution in tribute to their performance at the General Assembly voting session today.
"It is my sincere pleasure to honor these fine young women for playing a fantastic season of softball," said DeCroce, R-Morris and Passaic. "They have demonstrated exemplary sportsmanship on the national stage while playing for the championship in Portland. All New Jerseyans are proud of you!"
The softball team made an incredible run, winning the District, Section, State and Regional Championships with an undefeated record. Their accomplishments gave them the opportunity to play in the Little League Softball World Series in Portland, Oregon. The all-star softball team went all the way up to the finals where the stunning streak unfortunately ended in a 6-2 defeat to the girls of the Michigan Little League from Mattawan, MI. The championships were nationally televised on ESPN.
"What an amazing season! I commend the remarkable players, coaches and parents for their hard work and spectacular talents," Pennacchio commented, R-Morris and Passaic. "We all hope that next year they will surpass this year's outstanding feats and succeed in winning the World Series."
"I am very happy to officially congratulate the entire team and its supporters at the State House," remarked Martin,
R-Morris and Passaic. "Their accomplishments have been renowned by New Jersey and the national audience and they deserve our full gratitude."

Quote of the Day
"That issue, which was raised more than two years ago in the midst of the election, will not influence this process, nor will it impede the senator from carrying out his responsibility to help select the individuals who will best protect New Jerseyans. -- Afshin Mohamadi, a spokesman for U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, who says a probe of the junior Senator by the U.S. Attorneys office will not impact his recommendation on a new federal prosecutor once Barack Obama takes office.
