RECOGNIZING COACH JERRY CLAY
(Mr. WESTERMAN asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WESTERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize 43 years of service
to young men in Garland County, Arkansas, by Coach Jerry Clay, whose
269 wins as head coach at Fountain Lake High School and Lake Hamilton
High School are sixth all-time on the list of most wins in Arkansas
high school football.
Good coaches have the ability to teach their players to win
consistently on the field. Great coaches teach their players to be
winners in life. Jerry Clay is a great coach. Not only has he coached
14 conference championships and had teams compete in six State
championships--winning two--many young men he coached have gone on to
excel in virtually all areas of society, from doctors, to businessmen,
to true American heroes like SEAL Team 6 operator Adam Brown, whose
life story was chronicled in the best-seller book, ``Fearless.''
I will forever be grateful for the investment Jerry Clay made in my
life as my coach, and I wish him many happy years in retirement.
