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. ____________________
