                       Thursday, October 8, 2015

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I ask for the House's attention 
today to congratulate Coach David Clark on his 1000th win as coach of 
the volleyball team of Jacksonville High School, in Jacksonville, 
Alabama.
  Clark attended Saks High School, graduating in 1986, and enrolled in 
Auburn University. While there, he studied architecture and received a 
degree in environmental design.
  After a short time living in Oregon, he returned to Alabama to pursue 
an education degree at Jacksonville State University. After graduation, 
he worked for one year at his former high school before becoming part 
of the Jacksonville High School coaching staff.
  In his 23 years of coaching, he has led the Jacksonville Golden 
Eagles volleyball team to three state championship wins with four state 
runner up positions, as well as eight county and 16 area championships.
  Coach Clark's 1000th win came Saturday, October 3rd during the 
Calhoun County volleyball tournament. He is only the 10th coach in the 
history of the Alabama High School Athletic Association to reach this 
milestone.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Coach David Clark on 
his achievement.

                          ____________________
