                      Wednesday, February 25, 2026

  Mr. GOLDMAN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to proudly recognize 
the Fort Worth Trinity Valley School girls' soccer team for capturing 
their fourth consecutive Southwest Preparatory Conference Class 3A 
state championship--an outstanding achievement that reflects sustained 
excellence and dedication.
  The Trinity Valley Trojans secured the title with a commanding 6-0 
victory over the Episcopal School of Dallas at Jones Field, completing 
an impressive 12-2 season. Freshman Paige Zavaleta and senior Alli 
Zavaleta each recorded two goals in the championship match, while 
senior Charlotte Goldman opened the scoring and senior Audrey Deem 
added the final goal. Goldman, along with seniors Sydney Fewins, Isabel 
Gonzalez, and Brown University signee Claire McKnight, were members of 
all four championship teams, a truly remarkable accomplishment.
  The Trojans were equally dominant on the defensive end, with 
goalkeeper Blake Corder posting shutouts in both postseason matches and 
anchoring a disciplined and resilient defense throughout the playoffs.
  This sustained success is a testament to the leadership of Head Coach 
Claire Pearce, a Trinity Valley alum who has guided both the girls' 
soccer and field hockey programs to multiple conference championships. 
Under her leadership, the program has fostered a culture grounded in 
teamwork, accountability, and high character.
  The Trinity Valley School's girls' soccer team exemplifies the very 
best of high school athletics and brings great pride to their school 
and the Fort Worth community. I commend the student-athletes, coaches, 
and families for an outstanding season and for upholding a 
distinguished tradition of excellence.
  On behalf of the 12th Congressional District of Texas, I am proud to 
congratulate the Trinity Valley School girls' soccer team on this 
incredible state championship victory.
