CONGRATULATING THE CAMP HILL LIONS GIRLS SOCCER TEAM
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from
Pennsylvania (Mr. Perry) for 5 minutes.
Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer my heartfelt
congratulations to the Camp Hill Lions Girls Soccer Team for their
victory at the PIAA Class A State Soccer Championship, and for their
excellence throughout their undefeated 2019 season.
Led by Coach Jared Latchford--who, to no one's surprise, was just
named the Pennsylvania Soccer Coaches Association Girls Class A Coach
of the Year--the Lions dominated the season, achieving a stunning
overall record of 25 wins, zero ties, and zero losses.
This is the Lions' second appearance at the state championship in the
last 3 years. They took an early lead in their contest against Shady
Side Academy and held it throughout the game.
Aggressive and selfless offense, vigilant defense, and stellar
goalkeeping earned the Lions a 2-0 victory and their first State
championship trophy in school history.
These amazing athletes are the epitome of remarkable dedication and
discipline, outstanding skill, exceptional sportsmanship, and an
unyielding team spirit. Their dedication to excellence, to say the
least, earned them this championship.
On behalf of Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District, I
congratulate the Camp Hill Lions for their incredible performance. We
are proud of you.
