                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, February 18, 2011

  Mr. RUNYAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 2010 New 
Jersey State Athletic Association's South Jersey Group III Champions: 
the Lacey Township High School Football Team of Lanoka Harbor, New 
Jersey.
  On December 4, 2010, by an impressive score of 56 to 7, Lacey 
Township High School defeated Delsea Regional High School in the South 
Jersey Group III Championship football game. This marks the fourth time 
in school history that they are the South Jersey Group III Football 
Champions.
  During the championship game, the Lacey Township Lions were able to 
score seven touchdowns, resulting in 49 points. Senior running back, 
Jacob Dabal, scored three touchdowns, while senior quarterback, Craig 
Cicardo, and senior running back, Jarrod Molzon, each scored two 
touchdowns. The outstanding offensive output of these three young 
student-athletes helped pave the way to a Lacey Township victory.
  Equally extraordinary was the defensive efforts of the Lacey Township 
Lions. In the championship game, the Lions' defense forced eight 
turnovers, consisting of three interceptions and five fumbles. One of 
those fumbles resulted in a touchdown by senior defensive back, Zach 
Torrell.
  The Lacey Township Lions finished their 2010 football season with an 
undefeated record of 12 wins and 0 loses, its third undefeated season 
in school history.
  I would like to congratulate Lacey Township High School's football 
coach of 30 years, Coach Lou Vircillo, and his entire coaching staff. 
Through their inspiration and motivation, they enabled these young men 
to achieve an amazing accomplishment.
  I would also like to thank the senior members of the Lacey Township 
High School Football Team. Their incredible leadership of the Lions 
this year not only led to another championship title, but also to 
another undefeated season.
  Mister Speaker, I ask you and my colleagues to join me in celebrating 
the achievement of the Lacey Township High School Football Team in 
capturing the 2010 NJSIAA South Jersey Group III championship and 
finishing the year undefeated.
  I ask you to join me in celebration with the coaches, players, and 
student body of Lacey Township High School, as well as the teachers, 
parents and community members who all made this victory a reality. 
Finally, I ask you to wish the Lacey Lions continued success in next 
year's football season.
