                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, December 17, 2010

  Mr. GINGREY of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of the 
Calhoun Yellow Jackets who have been a dominant force in high school 
football in my home state of Georgia, and in my 11th Congressional 
District.
  Calhoun finished the season with a 14-1 record and ranked number two 
in the state in Class AA. Coached by Hal Lamb, the team beat the number 
one ranked team in Class AA to reach the finals, only to lose a 
heartbreaker in overtime.
  The team was led by senior quarterback Landon Curtis; wide receivers 
JT Palmer, Ben Lamb, Chase Riserson, and Clay Johnson; and running back 
Dustin Christian.
  The Yellow Jackets have won Georgia AA Region Seven for the past ten 
years straight. I am proud of their accomplishments and contributions 
to the 11th District of Georgia.
  Madam Speaker, I ask all my colleagues to join me in honoring the 
Calhoun Yellow Jackets, their five-time State Champion cheerleading 
squad, Superintendant Dr. Judy Stiefel, Principal Kelly Bumgardner, and 
the entire student body and community of Calhoun, Georgia.

                          ____________________
