         RECOGNIZING POPE SAINT JOHN PAUL II PREPARATORY SCHOOL

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a remarkable 
achievement in Tennessee's Sixth Congressional District. Pope Saint 
John Paul II Preparatory School--the Knights of Hendersonville--have 
earned the title of runner-up in the 2026 TSSAA Division II Class AA 
Boys Basketball State Championship.
  These young men from Sumner County stepped onto the biggest stage in 
Tennessee high school basketball and competed with grit, discipline, 
and extraordinary skill.
  They represented not only their school and coaches but their families 
and the entire Hendersonville community with tremendous pride and 
class.
  Mr. Speaker, reaching the State championship game requires talent, 
sacrifice, and relentless determination. These Knights demonstrated all 
of it. Their achievement inspires every student and athlete in our 
State to pursue excellence, and we are immensely proud of them.
