 CONGRATULATING KALAMA HIGH SCHOOL'S GIRLS SOCCER TEAM FOR WINNING THE 
                  WASHINGTON STATE 1B/2B CHAMPIONSHIP

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. JAIME HERRERA BEUTLER

                             of washington

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 7, 2021

  Ms. HERRERA BEUTLER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend and 
congratulate the Kalama High School's girls soccer team for winning the 
Washington state 1B/2B championship. Kalama, the second seed in the 
tournament, defeated eighth-seeded Adna on penalty kicks after their 
title match remained scoreless through 90 minutes. This dramatic finish 
helped Kalama earn its first state championship in school history. The 
COVID-19 pandemic limited many of our high school athletes from 
competing during the 2020 season, yet these individuals persevered and 
demonstrated adaptability and competitiveness. For the Chinooks, those 
attributes paid off in a big way.
  Competing in prep sports is a wonderful opportunity to learn lessons 
in discipline, focus, team play, work ethic, and comradery. Winning a 
state title is a momentous achievement this team can be proud of for 
the rest of their lives, and I have confidence they will find success 
using the lessons they learned while competing in soccer. Go Chinooks.
