  Mr. KEVIN HERN of Oklahoma. Madam Speaker, I rise in recognition of a 
truly great American. Coach Allan Trimble had a football coaching 
career spanning 3 decades, including 22 seasons at Jenks High School, 
piling up 242 wins and 13 state championships.
  Those statistics alone are impressive, but Coach Trimble's leadership 
follows him off the football field. His strength of character is 
visible in everything he does.
  Coach Trimble always strived to be a positive influence not only to 
his players, but to the entire student population. He still works as a 
mentor for our youth today, training up the future leaders of our 
community and state. He does this with the Trimble Strong foundation, 
whose mission is to bring faith, hope, and love into the lives of every 
person they interact with.
  Coach Trimble takes to heart our calling from God to be the salt of 
the earth. Every person who has crossed paths with Coach Trimble can 
feel the impact of his faith and leadership.
  Even after his diagnosis with ALS in 2016, Coach Trimble continued to 
be a pillar of strength, courage, and hope for his community and the 
students that he works with.
  I congratulate Coach Trimble on a truly spectacular career and thank 
him for the impact he has had on not only Jenks, but all of Oklahoma.
