                      Wednesday, February 28, 2024

  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the remarkable legacy 
of Anaheim High School Football Coach Lanny Booher. For two decades, 
Coach Booher has been a beacon of inspiration and mentorship in our 
Anaheim community, leaving a significant mark on the hearts of his 
players and community.
  Stepping down after 20 years of dedication to our shared alma mater, 
Anaheim High School, Coach Booher leaves a legacy of transformation and 
triumph. In 2004, he took charge of a struggling football team--but 
through his leadership and mentorship, Coach Booher was able to change 
the trajectory of the program and his players. Over the next two 
decades, Coach Booher led the Anaheim football team to success on the 
field, including accomplishing eleven playoff appearances and securing 
three Orange League championships.
  Coach Lanny Booher's commitment and love for the game and his 
community has been evident in every milestone and achievement. More 
importantly, his passion for his players has made his two decades of 
impact a cornerstone of our community. His impact extends far beyond 
the football field, shaping the lives of young athletes off the field 
by teaching them the value of teamwork and perseverance.
  Throughout his coaching career, Lanny Booher accumulated an 
impressive 100 wins at Anaheim High, making him the coach with the 
second-most wins in Orange County. One of his most notable 
achievements, a 22-10 victory in the Orange County All-Star Football 
Classic in 2007, is a moment that will surely live forever in local 
memory.
  By honoring the legacy of Coach Booher, we celebrate more than just 
victories on the field--we celebrate the profound impact he's had on 
every student who has played for him. There is no doubt that his legacy 
while at Anaheim High School will continue to inspire generations of 
young athletes to give back to their community and put their all into 
the game.
  I thank Coach Booher for his two decades of dedication. Go Colonists.
