The South Lakes Freshmen Girls Basketball team completed an outstanding season with a record of 14-2, setting a new milestone as the winningest freshmen girls team in South Lakes High School history. Their success reflects the passion, teamwork, and determination displayed by these student-athletes throughout the season. The South Lakes Freshmen Boys Basketball team also delivered an extraordinary season, finishing with an impressive record of 15-0-1. The team's undefeated season will stand as a benchmark for future South Lakes teams. These accomplishments would not have been possible without the leadership, mentorship, and dedication of the coaches and volunteers who support these teams. I commend the entire coaching staff, parents, and the many individuals who give their time and energy to help these young athletes develop their skills, build character, and learn the value of teamwork. The success of these teams is a source of great pride for South Lakes High School and the broader Fairfax community. Their achievements serve as an inspiration to fellow students and demonstrate the value of hard work and perseverance. I am honored to represent a district that is home to such exceptional student-athletes. I commend them for the dedication they have displayed to their school and teams. Their accomplishments both on and off the court continue to make our district proud. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the South Lakes High School Freshmen Boys and Girls Basketball teams on their exceptional 2025-2026 seasons and in wishing these talented student-athletes continued success in the years ahead, both on and off the basketball court. ____________________
