Mr. ROY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Boerne All- Stars and their historic run in the 2024 Little League World Series.

After going undefeated in local and regional games all summer long, the Boerne All-Stars punched their ticket to Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

Representing the Southwest Region in the Little League World Series this year for the first time ever, the Boerne Little Leaguers came in fourth place in this year's tournament and came out of the winner's bracket undefeated.

Led by Coach Jonathan Collins, Coach Bert Munoz, and Team Manager Justin Newson, the 12-strong team showed the entire world the grit and excellence that Boerne has to offer.

This team is truly exceptional. One teammate, Kole Newson, underwent open heart surgery four years ago and still showed out to display what makes Texas so great. This entire team is full of amazing players. They went undefeated in the winner's bracket and they all should be proud of their efforts.

All these boys, Kaleb Christ, Jett Matthews, Doc Mogford, Gray Collins, Dylan Burke, Aiden Munoz, Gage Steubing, Kole Newson, Julian Hurst, Ben Burkhart, Cooper Hastings, and Caden Guffey have performed an amazing feat. The coaches, parents, and everyone in Boerne who mentored these boys, built them up, and supported them have done a great job and should be proud of what these boys did.

I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the Boerne All-Stars; you have made all of Texas proud.
