STATE CHAMPIONSHIP. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS AND

WAYNE, I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO INTRODUCE THESE

NYS ASSEMBLY FEBRUARY 10, 2025

FINE GENTLEMEN FROM FORDHAM PREP. THE REASON WHY I'M EXTREMELY

1999, AND TO SEE COACH MCNAMARA, WHO LED THESE FINE YOUNG MEN IN

THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP AND PRESIDENT ANTHONY DAY, WHO TAUGHT WHEN

I WAS AT THE SCHOOL.

THESE YOUNG MEN STARTED IN LAST PLACE LAST YEAR AND

ARCHDIOCESE, CITY AND STATE CHAMPIONSHIP. THEIR SEASON WAS TURNED

AROUND AFTER A MIRACULOUS VICTORY AGAINST OUR ARCH RIVAL, MONSIGNOR

AMAZING VICTORY.

MARTIN MCCANN [SIC] IN 1839 [SIC], WHO WAS A GENERAL IN THE UNION

ARMY WHO WON THE MEDAL OF HONOR. AND THEN WE ALSO HAD CHARLES

MALCOLM WILSON, WHO REPRESENTED THIS CHAMBER IN THE EARLY 1920S,

IS MOST IMPORTANT IS THAT THESE YOUNG MEN ARE GONNA BE FUTURE LEADERS
