BOSTON – In recognition of their second straight year as Division III State Champions, Senator Michael O. Moore (D-Millbury) welcomed members of the Millbury Memorial Junior/Senior High School girls’ varsity soccer team to the State House.
After touring the building, the team was introduced to members of the Senate by Senator Moore and received a standing ovation from the legislative body. The group was accompanied by High School Principal Tara Bennett, Athletic Director Patrick Mara, Head Coach Steve Khoury and Coach Mike Tarka.
“These girls are making the hometown proud,” said Senator Moore. “Their hard work and skill have certainly paid off and it’s exciting to share some Woolie Pride here at the State House. We’re hoping to make this an annual tradition.”
The girls’ team clinched their second state title after a 1-0 victory over Medway High School last November. In addition to being recognized by the Senate, the team also received a citation from the House of Representatives courtesy of Representative Paul K. Frost (R-Auburn).
