Assemblyman Phil Palmesano (R,C,I-Corning) was pleased to welcome the South Seneca High School Girls Basketball team to the capitol to celebrate their recent New York State Championship.

“Coach Heather Mott’s South Seneca Falcons demonstrated the value of teamwork and perseverance throughout their historic season. This is an achievement these girls will remember for the rest of their lives. I couldn’t be more proud of them for bringing the state title home,” said Palmesano.

Palmesano presented the team with a signed Proclamation, the New York State Assembly’s highest honor. It was signed by the Assembly Minority Leader Brian M. Kolb and state Sen. Mike Nozzolio.
