WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-03) congratulated the St. Elizabeth, MO High School softball and baseball programs on their induction into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame today.

“As a native of St. Elizabeth this honor is especially personal for me. I graduated from St. Elizabeth but more importantly, my wife, Jackie, and I have watched generations of kids grow into young adults and go on to become exceptional members of our community and communities around Missouri. Both of our daughters played on the softball team and our son played on the baseball team where they and their teammates learned invaluable life lessons about hard work, commitment, and teamwork.

“Thanks to the coaches, teachers, and administrators we have been lucky enough to have over the years, our little town has experienced success well beyond the ball field. This honor is certainly a testament to all of the kids who worked so hard to achieve athletic success but also to the parents and a community that supports one another and always prioritized our future generations,” said Congressman Luetkemeyer.
