WHEREAS, the Brentsville District High School Tigers defeated the Lafayette High School Rams of
James City County by a score of 1-0, bringing home the program's second state championship title and
its first since 2003; and
WHEREAS, with approximately 20 minutes left in regulation and the match scoreless, Peyton
McGovern of the Brentsville Tigers dribbled deftly through a series of Lafayette defenders before
finding the back of the net with a 10-yard strike toward the right post, her 31st goal of the season; and
WHEREAS, the Brentsville Tigers were carried all year by a tough and impenetrable defense, which
notched its 16th shutout of the season in the championship match; and

that had reached three consecutive state finals between 2017 and 2019 without securing a title and that
lost in the state semifinals in double overtime the previous season; and
WHEREAS, boasting an all-underclassmen roster, the Brentsville Tigers stand poised to continue
their reign of dominance for years to come; and
WHEREAS, the success of the Brentsville Tigers is the result of the hard work and dedication of the
student-athletes, the leadership and guidance of their coaches and teachers, and the unwavering support
of their families and the entire Brentsville District High School community; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED by the Senate of Virginia, That the Brentsville District High School girls' soccer team
hereby be commended for winning the 2023 Virginia High School League Class 3 state championship;
