      CONGRATULATING THE SAINT ANTHONY'S HIGH SCHOOL LACROSSE TEAM

  (Mr. D'ESPOSITO asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. D'ESPOSITO. Mr. Speaker, as a Chaminade High School graduate, I 
extend congratulations to our rivals, Saint Anthony's High School, for 
their recent 12-6 lacrosse victory over Chaminade.
  Despite the outcome not favoring my alma mater, I commend the Friars 
for their skill, dedication, and sportsmanship.
  In the spirit of fair play, I gracefully accept defeat in my wager 
with fellow Long Islander Congressman Nick LaLota, a Saint Anthony's 
alumnus.
  The Friars' undeniable prowess on the field reflects their hard work 
and commitment, both in athletics and beyond.
  Long Islanders are well acquainted with the intense rivalry between 
Chaminade and Saint Anthony's, particularly in lacrosse, where both 
teams consistently rank among the Nation's best.
  Congratulations again to Saint Anthony's Friars, their coaches, and 
supporters on their impressive win. May this victory inspire future 
competitions filled with sportsmanship and camaraderie.
  Go Friars.
