             IN HONOR OF THE BATTLEFIELD GIRLS' 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 girls' soccer 
team from Battlefield High School in my District who recently won the 
2016 6A Virginia State Championship. They practiced long hours as a 
team, and this 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 Battlefield girls' 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 Battlefield girls' soccer team has certainly 
earned this honor and the lessons learned over the years will valuably 
serve them as they continue on in their lives.
  This team capped a three state titles in three years run in 
dominating fashion as they beat Frank W. Cox 4-0 in this year's state 
title matchup. This year's game was in stark contrast to the two 
previous games which were decided late each time. Three state titles in 
three years is quite impressive and these girls have truly earned this 
honor.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in honoring the 
Battlefield girls' 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.
