                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 27, 2000

  Mr. COBLE. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize a high school from 
the Sixth District of North Carolina that recently won the state 
lacrosse championship.
  Southeast Guilford High School claimed the North Carolina varsity 
lacrosse title. This is only the second team from the school to ever 
win a state championship in 33 years. The Falcons had an impressive 
season with 16 wins and only 3 losses. We congratulate Chris Godfrey, 
Josh Smith, Jon Murphy, Justin Patteson, Scott Van Hoever, Lucas 
McCraw, James Aldridge, Mike Wiggins, Ben Doffelmoyer, Chris McVey, 
John Clark, David Murphy, Chris Collins, Chris Smith, Chad Thompson, 
Paul Winn, John Batts, Daniel Davenport, David Dunnuck, Jimmy Mullen, 
and Russell Peele. The team was led by Head Coach Mark Goldsmith and 
Assistant Coaches Clark Byrnes and Paul Allen. They were ably assisted 
by head manager Nikki Berger and assistant manager Alicia Reed, along 
with athletic trainers Eric Stubblefield and Mark White. The team was 
supported strongly by the school administration including Athletic 
Director Roy Turner, Principal Dr. Pat Spicer and Assistant Principals 
Amanda Gane, Randy Shaver and Ron Coleman.
  Since winning the state championship in lacrosse, interest has 
escalated in the school, and they are expecting an influx of players 
this season. Many of the players are being recruited by colleges and 
receiving scholarships. Perhaps a dynasty is brewing at Southeast 
Guilford High School.
  The Sixth District of North Carolina is proud of this high school 
team from Guilford County for its hard work and dedication. 
Congratulations to the Falcons for a job well done.
