Congress Moves to Officially Congratulate Summerlin South Little League on 2025 US Championship Win

This resolution is the legislative equivalent of a giant, official high-five. It’s a formal commendation designed to recognize the Summerlin South Little League baseball team for winning the 2025 Little League World Series United States Championship on August 23, 2025. The core purpose is simple: to use the power of the House of Representatives to congratulate the kids, coaches, and community on a major athletic achievement.

The Official Scorecard

This resolution doesn't just offer a vague 'good job.' It lays out the team’s specific accomplishments, citing their victory over the Fairfield National Little League to secure the US Championship. For the policy nerds, it notes that this team is the first from Summerlin South to ever make it to Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and only the second team from Nevada to snag the Little League World Series United States Championship since 1957. It even includes the stats from their Mountain Region Tournament run, where they outscored opponents 45 to 15, winning the finals 6 to 3. This level of detail ensures the recognition is precise and historically accurate.

Recognizing the Bench and the Bleachers

While the players get the spotlight for their "dedication, teamwork, and athletic talent," the resolution makes sure to shout out the entire support system. It explicitly recognizes the parents, coaches, and league support staff who contributed to the team's success. This is a nice touch, acknowledging that these kinds of achievements don't happen without countless hours of volunteer time, carpooling, and sideline cheering from the adults involved. For the folks who manage the concession stand and keep the fields maintained, this resolution is a nod to their hard work, too.

The Final Play: Sending the Trophy Home

Because this is a formal government action, there’s an administrative step involved. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to transmit an enrolled copy of this official commendation to the leadership of the team: Summerlin South President Chris Mallory and Manager TJ Fechser. Essentially, this ensures the team gets a framed, official document from Congress to hang in the clubhouse. It formalizes a moment of community pride, giving the achievement a permanent place in the Congressional Record and a physical token for the team leaders to share.
