                RECOGNIZING HEAD COACH ULYSSES HAWTHORNE

  (Mr. CARTER of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Alfred 
E. Beach High School Head Football Coach, Ulysses Hawthorne, who is 
retiring from the Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools system after 
21 seasons.
  Coach Hawthorne is a stalwart in the Savannah athletics scene. At the 
time of his retirement he was the dean of all the coaches in the area, 
but, most importantly, he has always been an exceptional role model to 
his players. Players he coached remember that he pushed them to become 
leaders on and off the field. Many of his players are now playing at 
the next level in college.
  As a unit, his teams were successful against schools from across the 
State of Georgia. In 2011, Coach Hawthorne took Alfred E. Beach High 
School to its first appearance in the State playoffs since 1993. During 
his tenure at Beach, he accumulated 76 wins.
  I am so proud to have someone like Coach Hawthorne in the First 
Congressional District of Georgia shaping the lives of young people.
