  Mr. WESTERMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember the incredible 
legacy of Coach Marc Stringer of White Hall, Arkansas. A longtime coach 
of basketball and football at White Hall High School, Mr. Stringer lost 
his battle with cancer several days ago.
  Coach Stringer and his family have been longtime residents of 
Arkansas' Fourth District, and their story serves as a testimony of 
service to our fellow man and of dedication to seeing future 
generations succeed.
  Coach Stringer coached for nine years, battling cancer for the last 
three. According to the faculty and students of White Hall School 
District, Coach Stringer was a ``good coach, but an even better 
person.'' His dedication to students showed not only in his coaching 
ability, but also in his creation of Endure the Dirt Adventure Race and 
Personal Pep Rally, which awards scholarships to students whose 
families are facing a battle with cancer.
  Coach Stringer was also awarded the Norm Stewart Legacy Award in 2018 
at the Coaches vs. Cancer Program and the Arkansas Basketball Coaches 
Association PGC Transformational Coach Award for his perseverance 
throughout his health struggles.
  I'm honored to recognize Coach Stringer's servant leadership and his 
legacy of endurance in adversity. My prayers are with his family as 
they mourn his loss.
