8:31 pm
one and only president london breed. [applause] >> the hon. l. breed: all right, all right. it's time for a real celebration, and let me start by saying that galileo is always making history. when i went to galileo, with tyrell and dari, and i don't have any glasses on, so i can't see anyone else back there, but it was the first time in the history of the city and county of san francisco that there was ever a threepeat, where we won turkey day three years in a row. first time in the history. no one, no one has ever broken that record. galileo is known for always having an incredible football team.
8:32 pm
and i was there turkey day when you guys beat mission. now i love all the kids, but mission's basketball team was here a couple years ago, and i had to give it to them because they were the first to bring a basketball state champion to san francisco, and the galileo lions are the first to bring a state championship to san francisco. [applause] >> the hon. l. breed: thanks to the leadership of coach huynh, who is a lot older than i am, but we went to galileo at the same time, a at some poico ago when galileo won, we honored them here at the board of supervisors, and what is so incredible about what you did, the hard work, the team work, the commitment, the consistency, the drive. when you were out there playing turkey day, i just felt like i
8:33 pm
was a teenager again, routing for the teams that i used to root for when i was a kid. i was so proud, i was so excited, and i was so incredibly grateful that you basically brought the galileo spirit back to the hearts of so many generations of galileo lions. so you're not just inspiring the people you go to school with, you're inspiring the entire city. this is the first time that a school, not just a public school, but a private school, any school in the history of this city, they have never done what the galileo lions have done with the state championship. [applause]. >> the hon. l. breed: and there are so many people here to celebrate. they are alumni, they are
8:34 pm

[applause]. >> the hon. l. breed: you're getting rings, yes. yes. so i'm so excited. you're getting rings. you're also getting, which is probably not as exciting, certificates of honor from me personally --
8:35 pm
[applause]. >> the hon. l. breed: from our assessor-recorder, carmen true, who's here. and the point is i was when at galileo high school, the reason why i even thought about going to college is because there were so many amazing people who supported me, who encouraged me, who looked out for me and who ensured that i stayed the course. you all have inspired so many people, and you've got to continue to work and continue to stay the course. here in the city and county of san francisco, we celebrate and we honor you tonight. and the real work continues the next day when you study and you've got to make sure you go pass those tests. we are counting on you. we are counting on you to be the next generation of leaders. we are counting on you all to go to college. we want to see great things out of each and every one of you, and it is on behalf of the city
8:36 pm

[applause].
8:37 pm
>> once again, thank you president london breed. you guys are getting rings. whoo, you guys are getting rings. now, with every team, you have to have a leader, and every leader has a story. in this era, we're talking about dreamers and people with dreams. i bet you $5 at no point did coach huynh ever dream that he would be sitting here in city hall with state champions at his fingertips. you think so? coming from vietnam at the age of seven, making his way up, coming over here, and look at the young men that you've inspired, coach. it is time for us to honor you. san francisco, get on your feet for your championship coach, coach huynh.
