            IN HONOR OF DOMINION HIGH SCHOOL BOYS' LACROSSE

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. BARBARA COMSTOCK

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 20, 2016

  Mrs. COMSTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the boys' lacrosse 
team from Dominion High School in my District who recently won the 2016 
4A Virginia State Championship. They practiced long hours as a team, 
and this extraordinary achievement shows how far dedication, hard work, 
and commitment to teamwork can take a group as they played against some 
of the best competition in the nation.
  Dominion's boys' lacrosse team has made Virginia's 10th Congressional 
District proud and they have represented us well. Winning a state 
championship attests to their impressive athletic ability, unselfish 
mentality, and determination to succeed. I commend them for their 
tireless dedication to both their school and their teammates, without 
neither of which this could have been possible. It takes a delicate 
combination of superior skill and many hours of practice to win a state 
title. The Dominion boys' lacrosse team has certainly earned this honor 
and the lessons learned over the years will valuably serve them as they 
continue on in their lives.
  Dominion High School continued Loudoun's streak of dominance during 
their 17-4 rout of Western Albemarle during the boys' lacrosse state 
final. Their undefeated, 21-0 season was a fitting way for this 
Sterling team to win their first state title. Dominion's depth was 
exemplified during an impressive 11-1 second half run.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in honoring Dominion's 
boys' lacrosse team for their achievement and representing Virginia's 
10th Congressional District with such distinction. I wish them all the 
best in their future endeavors.
