                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 10, 2022

  Mrs. BUSTOS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Rock Island 
High School boys' head basketball coach Marc Polite for being named 
``Coach of the Year'' for 2022 by the Illinois Basketball Coaches 
Association.
  When Marc began coaching at Rock Island High School, he decided he 
wanted to build a strong and solid team both on and off the court. The 
student-athletes that he coaches are able to set academic, athletic, 
personal, and professional goals, and play basketball while having fun. 
And just one year into his coaching career at Rock Island High School, 
coaches from across the State of Illinois voted Marc ``Coach of the 
Year.'' As a former athlete, I appreciate Marc's dedication to his 
team, and I commend him for receiving this honor from the Illinois 
Basketball Coaches Association.
  It is because of community leaders like Marc Polite that I am 
especially proud to serve

Illinois' 17th Congressional District. Madam Speaker, I would like to 
again formally congratulate Marc Polite for being named ``Coach of the 
Year'' by the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association.
