                         Monday, April 26, 2010

  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me today 
in congratulating the Bolivar Central High School boy's basketball team 
for winning the 2010 Class AA State Championship.
  Less than a year removed from the state semifinals, Bolivar Central 
High School faced off against their league rivals at Middle Tennessee 
State University on March 20, 2010 for the State championship. After 
hundreds of hours of practice and hard work the Tigers were rewarded as 
they secured the school's third Class AA state championship in a 72-62 
win over Liberty.
  This recognition reflects a dedication to practice, their teammates 
and their unrelenting commitment to excellence. The team building 
skills acquired by working together through the highs and lows of the 
season will benefit these young men for a lifetime of success.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in thanking the parents, Coach Rick 
Rudesill, faculty of Bolivar Central High School and again 
congratulating the members of the 2010 State Championship team. I am 
sure this is not the last we will hear from this talented group of 
young men.
