                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. SCOTT PERRY

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 6, 2016

  Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, today I proudly honor my constituents, the 
Fairfield Area High School Girls' Soccer team, for earning the 
Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association Class 1A 
championship. These young women have brought home the first state team 
sports title in Fairfield's history.
   The Green Knights defeated District VII Champion, Shady Side, in a 
9-4 victory at Hersheypark Stadium on November 18, 2016. The Green 
Knights finished the season with a 25-1 record and scored 27 goals in 
four state playoff games, including two nine-goal performances.
   For a team from a small community, the Green Knights had an army of 
loyal supporters. I extend my congratulations to head coach Phomma 
Phanhthy, and the school officials, family and friends who supported 
these young women on this incredible journey.
   On behalf of Pennsylvania's Fourth Congressional District, I commend 
and congratulate the Fairfield Area High School Girls' Soccer team on 
the hard work and dedication that led to their 2016 State Championship.

                          ____________________
