CONGRATULATING FAIRFIELD AREA HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS' SOCCER TEAM
(Mr. PERRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, today I proudly honor my constituents, the
Fairfield Area High School girls' soccer team, for earning the PIAA 1A
championship. These young women have brought home the first State team
sports title in Fairfield's history.
The Green Knights defeated District 7 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 the team, to the head coach, Phomma
Phanhthy, and the school officials, family, and friends who supported
these young women on this incredible journey. We are all so very proud
of you.
