                         Monday, March 21, 1994

  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, it is my distinct pleasure to announce that 
the Ferris Yellow Jackets from Ferris, TX, are State High School Class 
3A State Basketball Champions. The Yellow Jackets, led by Coach James 
Rogers, were an impressive 31-3 on their way to the school's first 
State championship. For the past 2 years, I had the pleasure to pay 
tribute to two other champions in my district--The Paul Lawrence Dunbar 
Wildcats who were the 1993 Class 5A State Basketball Champions and the 
Waxahachie Indians who were 1992 Class 4A State Football Champions. I 
am very proud of all the district champs.
  The entire Ferris community has been longing for a State championship 
for sometime and this year's championship has been cause for great 
celebration in both the school and the community. This achievement is a 
prime example of what our young people can achieve given the 
determination and encouragement. This was Coach Rogers' 13th season as 
head coach for Ferris, and it turned out to be a lucky year for him.
  All of Ferris is proud of their accomplishment. I salute the members: 
coaches--James Rogers, Mike Russell, Randy Waggoner; players--Vernon 
Butler, Pedro Tyejo, Jeremy Sims, Roman Barnes, Tyson Hollywood, Alonzo 
Harrison, Kendrick Cherry, Casey Greene, Jonathan Spence, Robert Brown, 
Kris Salas, Kyle Rogers, Jason Runnels, Kurt Harrison, and Tracy 
Johnson.
