          TRIBUTE TO JOHNSON CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL ACADEMIC TEAM

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I rise today in the Senate to pay 
tribute to the Johnson Central High School Academic Team. Recently, the 
members of this Academic Team won their fourth straight 15th Regional 
Governor's Cup.
  The Johnson Central Academic Team won the overall District 60 
Governor's Cup Championship and went on to claim the Regional title. 
Along with winning the overall title, the team was awarded top honors 
in the Written Assessments section and the Future Problem Solving team 
also won first place. Also, the Quick Recall team defended their title 
by placing first 2 years in a row. Individual members also placed first 
in Mathematics, Language Arts and English Composition, and Science and 
Social Studies.
  The citizens of Paintsville, KY are fortunate to have the 15th 
Regional champ's living and learning in their community. Their example 
of hard work and determination should be followed by all in the 
Commonwealth.
  I congratulate the members of the Academic Team for their success. 
But also, I want to congratulate their peers, coaches, teachers, 
administrators, and parents for their support and sacrifices they've 
made to help the
