              IN HONOR OF THE PARK VIEW BOYS' SOCCER TEAM

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. BARBARA COMSTOCK

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 20, 2016

  Mrs. COMSTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the boys' soccer team 
from Park View 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.
  The Park View boys' soccer 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 Park View boys' soccer team has certainly earned 
this honor and the lessons learned over the years will serve them as 
they continue on in their lives.
  It has been 24 years since Park View boys' soccer has won a state 
championship. It took almost the entire game until an opportunity arose 
for Park View to pull ahead when they made the score 1-0 in the 69th 
minute. This hard-fought game is certainly one these boys will remember 
for years to come.

  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in honoring the Park 
View boys' soccer team for their achievement and representing 
Virginia's 10th Congressional District with such distinction. I wish 
them all the best in their future endeavors.
