              CONGRATULATIONS TO THE THOMASVILLE BULLDOGS

                                 ______


                           HON. HOWARD COBLE

                       Tuesday, January 23, 1996

  Mr. COBLE. Mr. Speaker, the Thomasville Bulldogs have done it again. 
On December 11, 1995, the Bulldogs of Thomasville High School captured 
the 1995 North Carolina 2-A Football Championship with a 16-0 victory 
against Clinton High School. Not only was this the school's first 
perfect football season, but Thomasville became the first prep club in 
North Carolina to win 16 games in 1 year.
  To top off a perfect season, head coach Allen Brown was named the 
Associated Press Coach of the Year in North Carolina. Coach Brown now 
has three State championships to his credit and a total of six trips to 
the State finals since 1983. Coach Brown, who has compiled a 220-72-2 
career record during his 23 seasons at Thomasville, told the 
Thomasville Times that this year's team was a special group. ``They 
worked so hard and they deserved what they got. I'm in a great 
community for football and we have a great group of kids.''
  The entire sixth district of North Carolina is proud of the winning 
tradition that the Thomasville football squad has established under the 
leadership of Coach Brown and his staff. Congratulations to athletic 
director/head coach Allen Brown, assistant coaches Roger Bryant, Billy 
Freeman, Dan Medlin, Ed Courtney, Bob Mattow, Avery Cutshaw, Benjie 
Brown, and Chuck Parks, Kemp Harvey, and each member of the team. Best 
wishes to Terrance Baxter (10), Ryan Jarrett (11), Chad Tobin (12),
