E1727 | Congressional Record, Volume 162 Issue 182 (Tuesday, December 20, 2016) [Congressional Record Volume 162, Number 182 (Tuesday, December 20, 2016)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E1727] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] CONGRATULATING CURTIS HIGH SCHOOL ______ HON. DANIEL M. DONOVAN, JR. of new york in the house of representatives Tuesday, December 20, 2016 Mr. DONOVAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Curtis High School football team for winning the Public Schools Athletic League city championship. After steamrolling their opponents throughout the regular season and playoffs, the Warriors defeated Erasmus Hall High School 24-21 at Yankee Stadium to capture the championship title and finish the season ranked first overall in New York City. Closing out their season with an undefeated 12-0 record, these young athletes proved that hard work, dedication, and perseverance are the keys to victory. The Warriors never backed down from tough competition this past season, and they definitely won't back down next season. Led by head coach Peter ``Gambo'' Gambardella, the Warriors demonstrated nothing but pure excellence on the field. Moreover, this team showed its dominance in the stats. Wide receiver Amad Anderson, Jr. finished the regular season tied first overall in touchdown receptions in the league; running back Ty'Son Lawton finished second in rushing yards and tied for first in rushing touchdowns; and quarterback Quincy Barnes finished second in passing yards and first in passing touchdowns. But as each of them knows, you always put your team before any personal glory. The Warriors exemplified teamwork and cooperation, so their championship should come as no surprise to their classmates, teachers, or parents. Mr. Speaker, this team gave their time, effort, and sweat to be where they are today. Their championship was well-deserved and I wish them nothing but continued success. ____________________ |
