                           BRI FOLDS GOES PRO

  (Mr. SPANO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SPANO. Madam Speaker, today, I rise to honor a talented young 
lady from my district.
  Bri Folds, a Lakeland Christian and Auburn grad, was drafted in the 
fourth round of the 2020 National Woman's Soccer League draft by the 
North Carolina Courage.
  Ms. Folds is the first player from Polk County to be drafted by the 
National Women's Soccer League. Folds was a two-time Lakeland Ledger 
Player of the Year, with 173 goals and 155 assists while at Lakeland 
Christian. She finished her college career ranked seventh all-time at 
Auburn in assists, eighth in goals, and tied for fifth in game-winning 
goals with nine.
  I am extraordinarily proud of her dedication and drive. It is 
important that our community continues to invest in future generations 
to produce stars and leaders like Ms. Folds. Players like her will 
influence young girls for years to come.
  I encourage all of District 15 to join me in cheering on Bri Folds 
when the 2020 NWSL season begins in March.
