CONGRATULATING THE ST. CROIX HELENITES
(Ms. PLASKETT asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. PLASKETT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate a group of
exceptional young men from my home in the Virgin Islands for their
division title win this past week in Minnesota during the USA CUP
tournament, the largest youth soccer tournament in the Western
Hemisphere.
The St. Croix Helenites Sports Club under-16 squad played through the
quarterfinals and semifinal rounds to clench the championship. The boys
on the under-11 team also played with great heart and made it to the
top four in their division.
Our entire community is tremendously proud of our boys for their hard
work, their great sportsmanship. The Virgin Islands is small, but when
we show up, we show out, and we excel.
We are all so proud of Head Coach Raejae Joseph, Assistant Coach Dale
Richards, parents, young men, and my boy Nico.
Let's go St. Croix Helenites Sports Club.
