          TRIBUTE TO LAFAYETTE HIGH SCHOOL BOYS' LACROSSE TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JAMES T. WALSH

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 8, 2003

  Mr. WALSH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the high 
achievements of the boys' lacrosse team from Lafayette High School. 
After a disappointing loss 3 years ago, the Lancers finally got another 
shot at the state title, and came home crowned the New York State 
Section III Champions.
  The Lafayette lacrosse program has taken home many Sectional titles 
in the past, but according to Athletic Director Jerry Kelly, this 
year's team is one of the best he's seen in ten years. After an 
outstanding spring season with a final record of 23-1, it seemed only 
fitting that this well-trained group of young men should win this final 
game.
  On behalf of the people of the entire 25th District of New York 
State, I would like to congratulate the following champions on their 
remarkable achievement: Haiwha Nanticoke, Brendan Storrier, Pat 
Shannahan, Lee Nanticoke, Josh Groth, James Pierce, Blake Gale, Andrew 
Spack, Andrew Thurston, Jeremy Thompson, Jerome Thompson, Tyler Gale, 
Wes Adam, Kevin Wilkerson, Brian Gormley, Nick Lavdas, Kevin Bucktooth 
Jr., Matt Noble, Jaimee Loughtin, Andy Gaffield, John Paige, Brion 
Salitino, Randy Hadzor, Ross Bucktooth, Spencer Lyons, Pat Dwyer, Head 
Coach Greg Scott, and Assistant Coaches Kevin Gale, Mike Riese, and 
Jerome Thompson.
