                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 5, 2005

  Mr. BOUSTANY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the efforts of 
an extraordinary group of gentlemen from the 7th Congressional District 
of Louisiana. The Men's Basketball team of the University of Louisiana 
at Lafayette brought spirit and pride to my hometown with a Sunbelt 
Conference Tournament Championship and qualification for the 2005 NCAA 
Basketball Tournament. First year Head Coach Robert Lee demonstrated he 
has the character and leadership qualities to mold these young men into 
not only great athletes, but into respected members of our community.
  I am very proud to acknowledge the effort and achievement of Head 
Coach Robert Lee, Assistant Coaches Rennie Bailey, Carlin Hartman and 
Jason Kennemer. I also want to congratulate the players on their 
achievements in the 2004-05 season--Orien Green, Brian Hamilton, Chris 
Cameron, Dwayne Mitchell, Tiras Wade, Spencer Ford, Ross Mouton, Adam 
James, Derek Gray, Cletis Fobbs, Anthony Rhodman, and Alphonso 
Williams. Finally, it is important to recognize the Rajin' Cajuns 
staff--Trainer Travis Soileau, and Managers Chase Mancuso, Will Keliner 
and Khadim Kandji.
  The 2004-05 season was a great success and these young men and their 
coaches should be proud of their achievements. I want to thank them for 
bringing enthusiasm and excitement to the University of Louisiana at 
Lafayette and the Southwest Louisiana community.
  Geaux Cajuns!
