             IN HONOR OF POTOMAC FALLS GIRLS' LACROSSE TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. BARBARA COMSTOCK

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 20, 2016

  Mrs. COMSTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the girls' lacrosse 
team from Potomac Falls in my District who recently won the 2016 5A 
Virginia State Championship. They practiced long hours as a team, and 
this extraordinary achievement shows how far dedication, hard work, and 
commitment to teamwork can take a group as they played against some of 
the best competition in the nation.
  The Potomac Falls girls' lacrosse team has made Virginia's 10th 
Congressional District proud and they have represented us well. Winning 
a state championship attests to their impressive athletic ability, 
unselfish mentality, and determination to succeed. I commend them for 
their tireless dedication to both their school and their teammates, 
without neither of which this could have been possible. It takes a 
delicate combination of superior skill and many hours of practice to 
win a state title. The Potomac Falls girls' lacrosse team has certainly 
earned this honor and the lessons learned over the years will valuably 
serve them as they continue on in their lives.
  In the 5A state title game, the Potomac Falls girls' lacrosse team 
beat George Marshall by double digits to claim the title that eluded 
them last year. Their victory was never in question as they quickly 
scored five goals in the opening minutes to pull ahead to a lead that 
grew to 12 by the game's end.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in honoring the Potomac 
Falls girls' lacrosse team for their achievement and representing 
Virginia's 10th Congressional District with such distinction. I wish 
them all the best in their future endeavors.
