Mr. Ramondi introduced Michelle and (transcript alternately spelled "Bridal" and "Britney") Lee and their coach, Coach Iannacon, and detailed their awards. He said Michelle earned first-team all league, first-team all county and third-team all-state honors (group 2). He described the other player (appearing in the transcript both as "Bridal Lee" and later as "Britney") as having an extraordinary season: first-team all league, three-time first-team all county, and first-team all state across groups, and he highlighted her conference player of the year honor and a 74–6 career record at Ridgefield Park.
Mr. Ramondi and the superintendent credited the athletes’ families and coaches for program development and noted the district’s efforts to expand participation. A brief photo opportunity followed the recognition.
