  Mr. WALKINSHAW. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate 
the South Lakes High School Freshmen Girls and Boys Basketball teams 
for their remarkable achievements during the 2025 to 2026 basketball 
season.
  The South Lakes Freshmen Girls Basketball team completed an 
outstanding season with a record of 14-2, setting a new milestone as 
the winningest freshmen girls team in South Lakes High School history. 
Their success reflects the passion, teamwork, and determination 
displayed by these student-athletes throughout the season.
  The South Lakes Freshmen Boys Basketball team also delivered an 
extraordinary season, finishing with an impressive record of 15-0-1. 
The team's undefeated season will stand as a benchmark for future South 
Lakes teams.
  These accomplishments would not have been possible without the 
leadership, mentorship, and dedication of the coaches and volunteers 
who support these teams. I commend the entire coaching staff, parents, 
and the many individuals who give their time and energy to help these 
young athletes develop their skills, build character, and learn the 
value of teamwork.
  The success of these teams is a source of great pride for South Lakes 
High School and the broader Fairfax community. Their achievements serve 
as an inspiration to fellow students and demonstrate the value of hard 
work and perseverance.
  I am honored to represent a district that is home to such exceptional 
student-athletes. I commend them for the dedication they have displayed 
to their school and teams. Their accomplishments both on and off the 
court continue to make our district proud.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the 
South Lakes High School Freshmen Boys and Girls Basketball teams on 
their exceptional 2025 to 2026 seasons and in wishing these talented 
student-athletes continued success in the years ahead, both on and off 
the basketball court.
