           CONGRATULATING THE JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. DOUG COLLINS

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 17, 2018

  Mr. COLLINS of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the 
Johnson High School boys' soccer team on winning the state title. This 
honor marks the first state championship in the program's history.
  A few years ago, the Knights suffered a tough defeat in the 2014 
championship game, and, in 2016, a loss in the first round of the 
playoffs prevented the team from advancing to the title match up.
  Seeking redemption, the Knights powered through the playoffs and 
earned a rematch against McIntosh High School, a team that bested the 
Knights during the regular season.
  This victory testifies to the team's determination and the support 
they've received from Gainesville residents.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to congratulate the Knights on their hard-
earned success, and I look forward to seeing what next season has in 
store for this team.
