 RECOGNIZING ELK COUNTY CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL'S BASKETBALL COACH AARON 
                  STRAUB ON HIS THOUSANDTH CAREER WIN

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the 
accomplishments of Elk County Catholic High School basketball coach, 
Aaron Straub.
  For 45 years, Coach Aaron Straub has led the Elk County Catholic High 
School basketball teams, beginning as the girls' head coach before 
taking over the boys' program in 1983.
  Earlier this year, Coach Straub made history after celebrating his 
thousandth career win.
  Few basketball fans have witnessed this moment in Pennsylvania, as 
Straub is believed to be just the third scholastic basketball head 
coach in State history to achieve this accomplishment. It was only 
fitting to reach this milestone in the gymnasium that bears his name.
  That feat is not just about winning basketball games. Coach Straub 
has helped countless young men and women develop over nearly half a 
century, helping to ensure their athletic, academic, and personal 
success.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Coach Straub on this thousandth career 
win and wish him and the Crusaders good luck for the rest of their 
season.
