                        Monday, January 23, 2012

  Mr. SIRES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Coach Jeffrey R. 
Stabile, the former head coach of Bayonne High School's Girls 
Basketball team, who taught in the district for over 37 years. 
Recently, the gymnasium in the Bayonne High School Physical Education/
Community Education Center was dedicated to him and renamed, ``Jeffrey 
R. Stabile Court.'' Coach Stabile had an outstanding coaching career 
with the Bayonne High School Bees and also coached both Boys and Girls 
Basketball and Softball. Additionally, Coach Stabile was a special 
education teacher.
  Coach Jeffrey R. Stabile has been a coach at Bayonne High School for 
41 years, including 14 years with the Boys Basketball program as a 
freshman coach and junior varsity coach, and 27 years with the Girls 
Basketball program as the head coach. Coach Stabile led the Boys 
Basketball team to back to back Hudson County Interscholastic Athletic 
Association Junior Varsity Championships in 1968-69 and in 1969-1970. 
As the Girls Basketball head coach, Coach Stabile compiled a record of 
570 wins and 135 losses, which included 20 Hudson County 
Interscholastic Athletic Association (HCIAA) Finals and 14 HCIAA 
Championships. Coach Stabile led his teams to 11 New Jersey State 
Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) Section Finals and won 5 
Section Championships. Finally, his teams made 28 straight State 
Tournament appearances and reached the State final once in 2006. From 
1985 until 1992, the team had a 120 game win streak versus Hudson 
County Teams which led to 7 straight HCIAA Championships.
  For his accomplishments, Coach Stabile was inducted into the Hudson 
County Hall of Fame in 2005, into the New Jersey Scholastic Coaches 
Association Hall of Fame in 2005, and the St. Aloysius High School Wall 
of Fame in 2007, where he attended high school.
  Please join me in honoring Coach Jeffrey R. Stabile for his service 
to the community as a teacher and a coach. I thank him, his wife, 
Maryann, and his two children Jeffrey Jr. and Joelle, for his 
contribution to our community.
