Legislators Honor State Champ Dalers

Resolution congratulates state champion Farmingdale girls lacrosse team.

Hear Yea! Hear Yea! 

State Sens. Charles Fuschillo, R-Merrick, and Kemp Hannon, R-Garden City, introduced a resolution honoring the state Class A champion Farmingdale girls lacrosse team.

The resolution was adopted June 18, but the senators have not yet set a date to honor the team. The girls made history with an 8-5 win over Baldwinsville in the title game June 8. Now they are immortalized in the state legislature too.
