  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Madam Speaker, in the Fourth Congressional 
District of Georgia, only a few schools excel in competition on a State 
level that ignites a community.
  Under the leadership and guidance of Coach James Hartry, the Tucker 
High School Boys Basketball team has won a State Championship for the 
school, the city of Tucker and our beloved Fourth Congressional 
District.
  These Tenacious Tigers of Tucker have demonstrated the will to win, 
the courage to win, the mechanics of teamwork and the astounding spirit 
of triumph from a mental and physical battle.
  The 9th day of March, 2007 will go down in history as the day that 
our Tucker High School Boys Basketball team became the AAAA Champions 
of Georgia.
  The team exhibited great moral character on and off the basketball 
court through the halls of Tucker High.
  I was pleased to set aside March 31, 2007, to honor and recognize the 
Tucker High School Basketball Team for its victory for our District.
