                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 2, 2022

  Mr. SMUCKER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Michael Vogel, who 
recently retired after coaching volleyball for thirty-one years at 
Hempfield High School in Landisville, Pennsylvania. Mike's time as 
coach was nothing short of incredible, with a list of records and 
championship wins to prove it. Just to name a few, he led Hempfield's 
girls' volleyball team to win five District 3 Class 3A titles and two 
state championships while also leading the boys' volleyball team to 
take seven PIAA-3A state titles and fifteen District 3 Class 3A crowns. 
As coach of Hempfield's boys' volleyball team for twenty-four years, 
the team had a record of 1,106-94, an astounding feat. These 
accomplishments demonstrate the immense dedication that Mike showed to 
Hempfield High School and the many players he coached over the years. 
He taught them the value of sportsmanship and hard work, lessons that 
will last a lifetime. And for that, everyone across our community 
should be thankful for Mike.
  I wish Mike a restful and well-deserved retirement and hope that the 
next volleyball coach at Hempfield High School will be able to meet the 
high bar that Mike set.
