                        Friday, December 2, 2022

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
tenacious and self-motivated leader, Dellie C. Robinson. Dellie C. 
Robinson has shown what can be done through hard work, dedication, and 
a desire to achieve success.
  Robinson, the longtime Vicksburg High School (VHS) boys' basketball 
coach, led the Gators to the 2003 MHSAA Class 5A Championship, and to 
the state championship game in 2011 and 2014, during a 25-year run.
  Robinson won nearly 800 games in almost 30 years as a coach at VHS 
and Canton High School. He was at VHS from 1992 to 2017 and won more 
than 400 games there.
  Robinson was known as one of the best basketball coaches in 
Mississippi, and he was inducted into the 2022 Vicksburg Warren School 
District Athletic Hall of Fame.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Dellie 
C. Robinson for his passion and dedication to the Vicksburg Warren 
School District.
