  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise to congratulate 
Delone Catholic High School Squirettes basketball coach Gerry Eckenrode 
on his 500th victory as head coach.
  Coach Eckenrode began his tenure with Delone's girls' basketball team 
as head coach during the 1999-2000 season. Under his leadership, Delone 
Catholic has won four state championships, four district championships, 
and 14 division titles. His teams have excelled, winning at least 18 
games per season. Coach Eckenrode has coached five of the school's 
1,000-point scorers. Additionally, he has a robust legacy of mentoring 
new coaches.
  Congratulations to Coach Gerry Eckenrode and the entire Delone 
Catholic girls' basketball community on this remarkable achievement. As 
he continues to lead the Delone Catholic Squirettes, I wish Coach 
Eckenrode and his team all the best.
