            MIDDLE GEORGIA BUCKS SENIOR BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM

  Mr. CHAMBLISS. Mr. President, I have submitted a resolution to 
congratulate the 2006 Middle Georgia Bucks Senior Boys Basketball Team 
of Macon, GA, for their winning season. Not only did they win the 2006 
Amateur Athletic Union National Championship, AAU, they won the 2006 
State of Georgia AAU Championship and the 2006 Hoosier Showcase in 
Indianapolis, IN, as well. The Bucks finished the season with an 
undefeated record of 27 wins and 0 losses. On August 1, they claimed 
their national victory by defeating the North Carolina Gators by a 
score of 97 to 75.
  This resolution recognizes and commends the hard work, tenacity, and 
steadfast commitment to excellence of the members, parents, coaches, 
and managers of the Middle Georgia Bucks. It also commends the Amateur 
Athletic Union for continuing the tradition of fostering the 
development of sportsmanship, discipline, and self-assurance in young 
adults. This talented team, managed by Alfonza Hall and coached by 
Melvin Flowers, Chris Cromartie, and Al Hagan, has brought great pride 
to the State of Georgia and the Middle Georgia community, where the 
fans have shown unwavering enthusiasm, support, and admiration for the 
players and coaches.
  Mr. President, I would like to recognize the players individually for 
their accomplishment: Lehmon Colbert; LaShun Watson; Anthony Miller; 
Terrell ``Sput'' Dunham; Keith Ramsey; Giles Mack; Antonio Steele; Tay 
Waller; Jarvis Ogletree; Rashad Faust; Sean LeGree; Jermaine Sparks; 
Josh Williams; Akila Carter; and Jeremiah Crutcher. I extend my 
heartfelt congratulations to each of these players and their families, 
and to all involved in the organization. I urge my colleagues to 
support the resolution.
