                      Thursday, February 10, 2000

  Mr. CHAMBLISS. Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate the Charlton 
County High School football team in Folkston, Georgia, for recently 
capturing the Class A State Championship title. This fine group of 
young men and their coaches from Georgia's 8th Congressional District 
deserve great recognition for their hard work, dedication, and success.
  This is not only a victory for these fine young men, but for their 
school, parents, and community as well, particularly all who played a 
role in supporting the team throughout a hard year of practices and 
games.
  I want to congratulate CCHS head football coach Rich McWhorter and 
assistant coaches Bill Pitt, Mike Baxter, Mike McNeil, Russ Murray, 
Josh Howard, Dee Barronton, and Tim Cochran for their leadership and 
dedication to the team. Coaches spend every day of their lives building 
character, integrity, and determination in our young athletes, and I 
want to commend them for their commitment and service.
  I also want to take this time to recognize the Charlton County 
Indians individually. The 1999 players are Steve Smiley, Kevin Davis, 
Marcus Cobb, Snapper Hobbs, Cortez Reed, Cecil Reed, Matt Albertie, 
Fielding Dean, Antwan Harvey, Bama Adams, Mark Smith, Walter Williams, 
Jamie Jackson, Muhammad Abdullah, Jerome Pollock, Frank Dasher, Anthony 
Haston, Antonio Harvey, Lamar Williams, Harold Hannans, Lanier Milton, 
Alex Zow, Dantonio Davis, Chip Jackson, Tim Todd, Pierre Sims, 
Nathaniel Davis, Jason Bridges, Vincent Green, Nahshon Nicks, Chris 
Davis, Brian Drury, Demario Austin, Ivory Smiley, Marquis Elmore, Brett 
Mitchell, Gene Wilson, Norris Woods, Cedric Mildton, Brian Lloyd, 
Justin Crumbley, J.D. Carter, Jason Wainwright, Spencer Crews, Tony 
Geoghagan, Ben Huling, Michael Spurlock, Brandon Drury, Dusty Phillips, 
Luke Gowen, Scott Woolard, Ben Brantley, Marcus Jackson, Kyle Cook, Sam 
Melton, Scott Davis, Dusty Thomas, Jarvis Blackshear, Justin Pollock, 
Jimmy Scipp, Matt Drury, and Michael Reed.
  Mr. Speaker, victory cannot be achieved without the hard work, 
talent, and perseverance of every single athlete, the strong leadership 
and direction of the coaches, in addition to the strong support of 
parents, teachers, students, and the community. We from South Georgia 
know how important community support is. The Indians are truly a team 
to be proud of, and it is an honor for me to represent Charlton County, 
Georgia, in the U.S. House of Representatives. I look forward to many 
more victories from this outstanding team in the years to come.
