This resolution welcomes the Fordham Preparatory School's Soccer Team to the Legislative Chambers on February 10, 2025, to recognize their outstanding achievement of winning the Catholic High School State Championship Title. The resolution highlights the team's remarkable journey, noting that they were initially in last place before winning championships at the Archdiocese, City, and State levels—a feat known as "the treble" and the first such accomplishment in the school's history. The team secured a dramatic 1-0 victory against Chaminade High School, scoring the winning goal in the final minute of the match. The resolution emphasizes the importance of athletic competition in developing teamwork, discipline, and character, and commends Head Coach Peter McNamara for his 40 years of coaching and leadership. The document also recognizes the team's achievement as part of Fordham Preparatory School's legacy of excellence, referencing notable alumni like Assemblyman C. Malcolm Wilson and Civil War General Martin T. McMahon. The resolution formally congratulates the team, welcomes them to the Legislative Chambers, and wishes them continued success in their future endeavors.
