                        Thursday, March 17, 2005

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
Coach Frank Tolbert of Auburn High School in Auburn, Alabama. Coach 
Tolbert is a man of great accomplishment--a highly respected mentor for 
our youth who was recently inducted into the Alabama High School Sports 
Hall of Fame after leading the boys' basketball team to victory at the 
Class 6-A State Championship.

  Since 1969 Coach Tolbert has been coaching boys' basketball in the 
Auburn City Schools, and has achieved an outstanding record of 535 wins 
including area and state championships.
  Because of his record of accomplishment, Coach Tolbert was honored 
recently on two separate occasions. On March 15 the Auburn City Council 
commemorated Coach Tolbert and his team at the local council meeting. 
In addition the citizens of Auburn recently observed March 16, 2005, as 
``Coach Frank Tolbert Day'' in recognition of his unique 
accomplishments.
  I am proud to acknowledge Coach Tolbert in the House today and 
congratulate him on this remarkable and memorable occasion.
