Senator Tedisco and Assemblyman Smullen welcomed the Poland Tornadoes to the Senate and Assembly Floors in honor of their 6-1 victory over Section 6 champion Avoca to capture the state title. 

The Tornadoes finished the season with a perfect 23-0 record and they garnered a top 50-ranking nationally by MaxPreps. 

"The Poland High School Girls Soccer Team are not only champions on the pitch, but off it as well.

This is an outstanding group of scholar/athletes who make the 49th Senate District proud!" said Senator Jim Tedisco.
