  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I submit the following 
proclamation.
  Whereas, in the Fourth Congressional District of Georgia, only a few 
schools excel in competition on a State level that ignites a community; 
and
  Whereas, under the leadership and guidance of Coach Jerry Jackson, 
The Redan High School Girls Basketball team has won its second State 
Championship for the school, the city of Stone Mountain and our beloved 
Fourth Congressional District; and
  Whereas, these Magnificent Lady Raiders of Redan 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; and
  Whereas, the 6th day of March, 2014 will go down in history as the 
Day that our Redan High School Girls Basketball team became the AAAA 
Champions of Georgia, completing a perfect season with a 33-0 record; 
and
  Whereas, the team has exhibited great moral character on and off the 
basketball court and through the halls of Redan High; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to honor and recognize the Redan High School 
Basketball Team for its victory for our District; now therefore, I, 
Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr. do hereby proclaim March 21, 2014 as 
Redan High School Day in the 4th Congressional District.
  Proclaimed, this 21st day of March, 2014.
