              CONGRATULATING BENJAMIN SCHOOL BOYS LACROSSE

  (Mr. ROONEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. ROONEY. Madam Speaker, I rise tonight to honor the varsity boys 
lacrosse team of the Benjamin School in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. 
The Benjamin Buccaneers won the Florida State lacrosse championship 
this spring against Tampa Jesuit in sudden death overtime.
  Team members Matt Ferris, Scott Fricker, Kyle Gilmore, Taylor Smith, 
Nick Gardner, Josh Weinstein, Dylan Nugent, Roby Mendoza, Justin 
Boufford, Scott Slawson, Ryan O'Hare, Philip Benz, Nick Krar, Robby 
Dattolo, Josh Stauffer, Charlie Collins, Colby Kempe, Robert Jacobs, 
Evan Wesselman, Jay Ford and Charlie Nicklaus played with great 
determination and heart throughout the grueling tournament weekend to 
come from behind in the semifinals to beat defending State champions 
and local rival Dwyer High 18-16 to earn their spot against Tampa 
Jesuit in the finals.
  The championship game was a hard fought see-saw scoring battle with 
the score tied eleven all at the end of the fourth quarter. Benjamin's 
Josh Stauffer scored the game-winning goal just 42 seconds into 
overtime.
  I am proud to congratulate the Bucs and Coach Cheatham on their first 
of many State championships. Go Bucs.
