                        TRIBUTE TO LAMAR ROGERS

 Mrs. BLACKBURN. Madam President, it is my honor to 
congratulate Coach Lamar Rogers of Clarkrange, TN, on winning the Fred 
Russell Lifetime Achievement Award and joining the distinguished ranks 
of the National Federation of State High School Associations Hall of 
Fame.
  Over the course of his long career, he has enriched the lives of 
young female athletes by helping them reach their highest potential. 
For 46 years, Coach Rogers has served as the architect of one of the 
most impressive and well-respected girls basketball programs in the 
Volunteer State, boasting a 1,289-290 record and eight Tennessee 
Secondary School Athletic Association State championships. He is also 
revered--and feared--as the winningest high school girls basketball 
coach in Tennessee.
  But more importantly, he is a mentor, a friend, and an inspiration to 
the next generation of athletes and educators, and I consider it my 
privilege to recognize him for his leadership. Congratulations, 
Coach.
