Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 97 (Tuesday, June 9, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 97 (Tuesday, June 9, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E549] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] CELEBRATING THE JOHNSON COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE CAVALIERS BASEBALL TEAM ______ HON. SHARICE DAVIDS of kansas in the house of representatives Tuesday, June 9, 2026 Ms. DAVIDS of Kansas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the Johnson County Community College Cavaliers baseball team, which just won the Division 1 Junior College World Series national championship game for the first time in program history. As a JCCC alum, it is my pleasure to congratulate the team on this incredible accomplishment. This well-deserved victory marked the finale of an already-historic season. The Cavaliers ended with a 67-3 record, which included a 41- game winning streak. As if that is not impressive enough, the team hit 219 home runs--a college baseball record across every level. This past JCCC Cavaliers baseball season represents all the great ways we benefit from sports--instilling pride in our community, inspiring young people to set high goals, and offering new opportunities. In fact, the team expects more than 20 players to sign with Division I programs for next season. Once again, I congratulate the JCCC Cavaliers baseball team and, on behalf of the Johnson County community and beyond, I thank them for such an exciting season. Go Cavaliers. ____________________
