RECOGNIZING BENEDICTINE COLLEGE PREPARATORY SCHOOL ATHLETICS
(Mr. McGUIRE asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. McGUIRE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the extraordinary
achievement in high school athletics by Benedictine College Preparatory
School located within Goochland County.
They have made program history by capturing its third consecutive
VISAA Division I State Championship defeating Trinity Episcopal 20-0.
From the first snap, the Cadets showed they came ready to compete.
Benedictine set the tone, demonstrating exceptional determination,
discipline, and heart.
JoJo Johnson led the charge with an impressive 85-yard touchdown run
followed by key contributions from quarterback Kaiden Kohler and VMI
commit Landon Snyder, giving the Cadets a commanding 20-0 halftime
lead.
Defensively, the Cadets were nothing short of dominant, ultimately
leading to their championship win.
Benedictine forced five turnovers, including a critical interception
by Malachi Mingo that helped seal the shutout.
I am honored today to recognize the student-athletes, coaches,
families, and entire Benedictine community for their remarkable
accomplishment, as well as for the pride they have brought not only to
Virginia's Fifth Congressional District but also to the entire
Commonwealth of Virginia.
