RECOGNIZING BENEDICTINE COLLEGE PREPARATORY SCHOOL ATHLETICS

Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 196 (Thursday, November 20, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 196 (Thursday, November 20, 2025)] [House] [Page H4852] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING BENEDICTINE COLLEGE PREPARATORY SCHOOL ATHLETICS (Mr. McGUIRE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. McGUIRE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the extraordinary achievement in high school athletics by Benedictine College Preparatory School located within Goochland County. They have made program history by capturing its third consecutive VISAA Division I State Championship defeating Trinity Episcopal 20-0. From the first snap, the Cadets showed they came ready to compete. Benedictine set the tone, demonstrating exceptional determination, discipline, and heart. JoJo Johnson led the charge with an impressive 85-yard touchdown run followed by key contributions from quarterback Kaiden Kohler and VMI commit Landon Snyder, giving the Cadets a commanding 20-0 halftime lead. Defensively, the Cadets were nothing short of dominant, ultimately leading to their championship win. Benedictine forced five turnovers, including a critical interception by Malachi Mingo that helped seal the shutout. I am honored today to recognize the student-athletes, coaches, families, and entire Benedictine community for their remarkable accomplishment, as well as for the pride they have brought not only to Virginia's Fifth Congressional District but also to the entire Commonwealth of Virginia. ____________________
