                        Tuesday, April 25, 2017

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
group of high school students from the second district of Mississippi 
on their victory against Baldwyn High School Bearcats by the score of 
60 to 47 on March 10th to win the State 2A Boys Basketball 
Championship. The team ended the season with an overall record of 32 
and 2.
  I would first like to recognize the team beginning with the coaches. 
They include Head Coach, Derrick Moore and Assistant Coaches, Darryl 
Moore and Tim Williams; Trainers, Latrentis Murrell and Antwonario 
Bryant. To the entire coaching staff, your hard work and dedication is 
greatly appreciated.
  The players' teamwork and athletic abilities are also evident with 
this victory. Waltavious Cockerham, Keion Cosby, Bentavious Galmore, 
Markevious Holmes, Brandon Hornburger, Jaylin McCray, Derrick Moore, 
Jr., Markevius Phillips, Alshun Ross, Dewayne Rucker, Timarcus Sacks, 
Timothy Sacks, Effernee Taylor, Keyshawn Thomas, Jammion Burden, Gregg 
Johnson, Tykeevius Taylor, Jermaine Fry, and Quenton Wolfe, 
congratulations on a victorious season.
  Derrick Moore, a 1996 graduate of Coahoma County High School and 
former Assistant Coach under Coach Isaiah Peterson when the Red 
Panthers won back to back titles in 2005 and 2006, believes a team is a 
team when everyone has the mindset that they can win and be champions 
and when each individual knows they are important to the program.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing and 
congratulating the Coahoma County High School Red Panthers Boys 
Basketball Championship Team.
