                     Wednesday, September 13, 2023

  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
tenacious and self-motivated leader, Kelvin Reed. Kelvin Reed has shown 
what can be done through hard work, dedication, and a desire to 
achieve.
  Kelvin Reed was one of Warren Central's top boys' basketball players 
in the late 1980s. He led the Vikings in scoring as a sophomore, and 
steals and assists as a junior and senior, and was twice selected to 
The Vicksburg Post's All-County team. Reed averaged 15 points, 7 
assists and 3 steals per game over three varsity seasons.
  After high school, Reed moved on to Pensacola Junior College in 
Florida. He set the school's assists record and led the team to the 
1993 NJCAA Division I national championship.
  Reed was inducted into the 2022 Vicksburg Warren School District 
Athletic Hall of Fame.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Kelvin 
Reed for his passion and dedication to the Vicksburg Warren School 
District.
