                                 ______
                                 

                    HON. ROBERT E. (BUD) CRAMER, JR.

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 26, 2002

  Mr. CRAMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Coach Joe Dasaro 
and the Grissom High School Wrestling team from Huntsville, AL. Earlier 
this month, they took home the 6A State Wrestling Championship, a title 
they haven't held since 1997. The Tigers won their sixth state 
championship title in the 19 years that Coach Dasaro has been leading 
the team. Grissom High School has always upheld the highest standards 
of excellence in all its endeavors, and this team of outstanding 
athletes is no exception.
  The Grissom team scored 140 points--26 points above any other team in 
the tournament. Coach Dasaro has called the team solid and consistent, 
and I am proud of this group of athletes who have maintained an 
attitude of distinction in all that they do. Mr. Speaker, I want to 
congratulate Coach Dasaro for his leadership and each member of the 
Grissom High School wrestling team for their commitment to achieving 
the championship title.
