WHEREAS, Little League teams of the Warner Robins area have established and maintained a proud tradition of excellence in little league baseball; and

WHEREAS, the members of this superlative all-star team were selected by their peers and after only two weeks of practice, the team won all of its games to advance to the state tournament; and

WHEREAS, the Lions roared through the state playoffs with six consecutive wins which they followed with victories in the Southeastern District Tournament and the United States Tournament and in a dramatic 2-2 tie game against powerhouse Japan won the game in extra innings with a home run to become the 2007 Little League World Champions; and

WHEREAS, the phenomenal performance of the young team in such a short span of time to attain such a feat is a clear indication of the outstanding athletic ability, the dedication and hard work, and the unity of purpose and spirit of each member of the team; their superb offensive and defensive talents; and the astute direction of Coaches Mickey Lay, Mike Smith, Tommy Morris, and Mike Conlon; and

WHEREAS, this magnificent team performed with precision during its championship run and earned its well-deserved reputation for high standards of athletic achievement, the quality of its play, and the stiff competition which it presented its opponents.
