  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Phillip 
Earley, of Chillicothe, MO. Phillip is an active student at Chillicothe 
High School by participating in many extracurricular activities. During 
his time at school, he has received many outstanding athletic and 
academic achievements.
  Phillip has been actively serving his student body and teammates by 
participating in C-Club and football. For his excellence in football, 
he was selected for the All District First Team Offense and the All 
Conference Second Team Offense and Defense. He also received the honor 
of being selected by the Missouri Sportswriters to the Class 3 All 
State Football Team.
  Not only has Phillip been honored with many awards for his dedication 
and service to his football team, but also has been honored for his 
academic excellence. This includes receiving the academic letter twice 
at his school.
  Also, I would like to recognize the coaches that have inspired 
Phillip to achieve his best in athletics and academics. These notable 
coaches are Phil Willard, Jeff Staton, and Dave Mapel.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in recognizing Phillip 
Earley. His dedication and service to his school has been extremely 
important to the success of his team record and to his academic 
achievement. I commend his exemplary record for of all of his athletic 
and academic honors, and I am honored to represent him in the United 
States Congress.
