                  ROBBINSVILLE WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP

  (Mr. EDWARDS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. EDWARDS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the 
Robbinsville High School wrestling team for winning the North Carolina 
High School Athletic Association's 1A team tournament title for the 
first time in the school's history.
  The Robbinsville Black Knights defeated their opponent by 10 points, 
ending their opponent's 4-year winning streak.
  Senior and four-time State champion Kage Williams was awarded Most 
Outstanding Wrestler of the tournament and broke the program win record 
with 169 career victories.
  It was also a banner year for longtime coach, David Haney. Coach 
Haney has been with Robbinsville since 1978 and is now taking a well-
deserved retirement after this season.
  Each Black Knight on the team made important contributions to a 
historic State championship, all under the experienced leadership of 
Coach Haney.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the Black Knights. They have made western 
North Carolina proud.
