                     Wednesday, September 14, 2022

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable professional, Armintie Price Herrington.
  Armintie was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in April of 1985. She is 
married to Dr. Reginald Herrington, who serves as assistant principal 
for Grenada Lower Elementary. They have two children; a son, Reginald 
II (known as Prince), who is 4 years old, and a daughter, Armintie 
Christine, who is 9 months old.
  Armintie holds a bachelor's and master's degree from the University 
of Mississippi. During her time at Ole Miss, she excelled playing for 
the Lady Rebels basketball team and led the team to the NCAA Tournament 
three times. She received Kodak AH-American honors, among other 
accolades, and upon graduation, entered the Women's National Basketball 
Association (WNBA) draft in 2007. Armintie played for nine seasons, and 
four season overseas from 2007 to 2015.
  Armintie started out playing for the Chicago Sky and was named the 
2007 WNBA Rookie of the Year. She was traded to the Atlanta Dream in 
2009, and the team earned spots in the finals every year. She also 
became an assistant coach for the Ole Miss Lady Rebels; a position she 
held from 2009 to 2012. In 2014, she became a free agent and played for 
the L.A. Sparks before rejoining the Ole Miss WBB staff in 2016. She 
served the Lady Rebels as assistant coach one last time, for the 2018-
2022 seasons, before leaving Ole Miss.
  Armintie now has joined Holmes Community College (Grenada, MS campus) 
staff as the new business office/ financial aid advisor. Armintie is an 
active member of her church, Abundant Life Assembly in Grenada, and she 
looks forward to getting involved in more community activities.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Mrs. 
Armintie Price Herrington for her dedication and tenacity to serving 
her community and desire to be an example for all.
