                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 23, 2010

  Mr. GINGREY of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
one of Georgia's coaching greats, Charles V. ``Charlie'' Davidson. 
Coach Davidson spent his football coaching career as the head coach at 
Washington-Wilkes High School and at the Darlington School in Rome, 
Georgia.
  From 1952 to 1970, Coach Davidson led the Washington-Wilkes Tigers 
football team to four state championships. During his career, he won 
more games than any coach in the history of both schools.
  Coach Davidson's outstanding career includes 244 wins, 92 losses, and 
14 ties. At the time of his retirement, he was the sixth winningest 
coach in the history of Georgia high school football. This impressive 
record earned him numerous honors and awards, including induction into 
the Georgia Athletic Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2005.
  Madam Speaker, I want to congratulate Coach Davidson on his 
remarkable career and join Washington-Wilkes High School in honoring 
him as they dedicate Charlie Davidson Field at Tiger Stadium tomorrow 
evening.
  I ask that my colleagues join me in recognizing Coach Charlie 
Davidson.
