                        Thursday, June 14, 2001

  Mr. COBLE. Mr. Speaker, on May 26, the Sixth District of North 
Carolina became the home of the 4-A men's state championship tennis 
team--Walter Hines Page High School in Greensboro. The Pirates 
completed their title match with a season record of 22-0--their second 
consecutive season with no losses.
  The Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center at the University of North Carolina 
at Chapel Hill was the site where the Pirates defeated Fayetteville 
Terry Sanford High School 6-3. The single game winners included 
sophomore Jon Isner, freshman Robert Hogewood, and junior Adam Kerr. 
Both teams were undefeated up to this point and after single matches 
the score was 3-3. The game was still in anyone's court.
  Doubles matches were going to decide who would be the team to lose. 
All three Page High School doubles teams won their matches, which gave 
the state title to the Pirates.
  Congratulations are in order for Head Coach Jill Herb, Assistant Head 
Coach Tom Herb, along with assistant Jerry Steinhorne.
  Members of the championship team included Robbie Bernstein, Steven 
Eagan, Pete Georges, Andrew Hjelt, Robert Hogewood, Charlie Holderness, 
Jon Isner, Adam Kerr, Dean Mandaleris, Jonathan Newman, Daniel Rowland, 
Drew Saia, Jarrett Saia, Jason Steinhorn, David Stone, Robert Sullivan, 
David Tursky, and Danny Redell.
  Everyone at Page High School can be proud of the Pirates. On behalf 
of the citizens of the Sixth District, we congratulate Athletic 
Director Rusty Lee, Principal Dr. Terry Worrell and everyone at Page 
High School for winning the state 4-A Men's Tennis championship. In 
fact, winning two straight championships is impressive, but going 
undefeated for two years in a row is remarkable.
