  Mr. BANKS of Indiana. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 78th 
birthday of coach Leland Etzler of Monroeville, Indiana. From 1965 to 
2004, Leland coached the Woodlan Warriors' Junior/Senior High School 
football, basketball, and track teams. He finished his football career 
with an overall record of 287-117-4.
  Among his many distinguished achievements at Woodlan, Coach Etzler 
was named Conference Coach of the Year from 1971 to 1973 and in 1996. 
Additionally, he was named IFCA Coach of the Year in 1996, and the Ball 
State Alumni Coach of the Year in 1981. He also orchestrated three 
perfect seasons in 1965, 1968, 1970, and was a State Runner-up in 1981.
  In recognition of his accomplishments, Coach Etzler received the 
National Football Foundation's Distinguished American Award in 2005, 
and he was inducted into the Indiana Football Hall of Fame in 2001.
  I would like to wish a happy birthday to Coach Etzler.
