“I congratulate the Hamilton West Side Little League team for finishing in the final four of the Little League World Series. They made our community proud.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Hamilton West Side Little League for an outstanding run at the Little League World Series Championship. West Side arrived in Williamsport representing the Great Lakes region and lost a close opening game to Nevada, putting them in the elimination bracket. They responded by winning five straight games and earning a place in the U.S. championship game, ultimately finishing among the final four teams in the tournament. Their performance adds to the proud Little League tradition in Hamilton and gives the community something else to rally around at a time when the city is continuing to build serious momentum. Neighborhoods are being revitalized. Downtowns are filling back up with new businesses, and local employers are investing in creating opportunities for families. Hamilton West Side gave people across Ohio and even the United States another reason to take notice that great things are happening in Hamilton, Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the players, coaches, and families on a remarkable run.”
