In a heartwarming moment of community pride, the Prince William County Board of County Supervisors paused its regular business on March 17, 2026, to celebrate the excellence of local youth. At 7 p.m., during the evening session of its meeting, the Board issued a proclamation recognizing the Potomac Shores Middle School boys basketball team for an extraordinary achievement: **100 consecutive victories** and five years undefeated since 2021.
Supervisor Andrea O. Bailey, Potomac District Supervisor and Vice Chair, presented the commendation with evident pride. “It gives me great pleasure to commend and recognize a legacy of greatness honoring the Potomac Shores Middle School boys’ basketball team,” she said.

LaCroix said in remarks: “The first thing I did was take a picture of my name on here, because it is very surreal that I am a part of this.” She added that Woodbridge “is a district that really deserves somebody to prioritize it” and “I’m not thinking that it’s been prioritized in maybe decades and decades.” She requested that people “lend me a little grace” and said her goal is to represent people who “felt that they were marginalized or not heard from” and to address “some pockets that need revision.”
LaCroix, the first Republican to hold the seat in 40 years, succeeds Margaret Franklin. Franklin was elected Woodbridge District Supervisor in 2019. Voters returned her to office in 2023.
