  Mr. PICKERING. Mr. Speaker, I rise to commend the Jones County Junior 
College Bobcats for winning the state championship. I am very proud of 
JCJC which is in my home county. Both of my parents are alums of Jones 
County Junior College and I was raised supporting the school and its 
athletic programs. The Bobcats finished the season with 10 wins and 1 
loss. Congratulations are in order for Jones County head coach Parker 
Dykes, his staff and his team. Their victory brings pride and respect 
not only to the athletic program, but to the college as a whole. Jones 
County Junior College continues to set the standard not only in 
athletics, but in academics as well. The technical and vocational 
training provided at JCJC equips students with the necessary skills to 
enter the 21st century workforce and become successful members of their 
community. I am always pleased to see our junior colleges excel. Again, 
congratulations on an outstanding season.
