Harlem High School Baseball Field Named After Legendary Coach Jimmie Lewis

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. ALLEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate legendary Coach Jimmie Lewis, whose name will now be displayed at the Harlem High School baseball field for years and years to come. Coach Lewis has been the dedicated leader of the Harlem High School baseball program for decades, securing eight state titles and over 900 impressive wins--the 3rd highest in Georgia High School Association history. This is no small feat, and I cannot think of anyone more deserving of this honor.

However, Jimmie Lewis is far more than a coach in this community and at Harlem High School. He is a family man, a role model, a teacher, and a molder of men who has devoted his life to ensuring young students learn the skills and lessons necessary to be successful not only on the baseball field, but in life.

I am honored to help Coach Lewis celebrate this occasion and the positive, lifelong impact he has had on so many lives. Congratulations to Coach Lewis. Go Bulldogs.
