  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Madam Speaker, in the Fourth Congressional 
District of Goergia, only a few schools excel III competition on a 
State level that ignites a community.
  Under the leadership and guidance of Coach Eddie Martin, the Norcross 
High School Boys Basketball team has won a State Championship for the 
school, the city of Norcross and our beloved Fourth Congressional 
District.
  These Blazing Blue Devils of Norcross have demonstrated the will to 
win, the courage to win, the mechanics of teamwork and the astounding 
spirit of triumph from a mental and physical battle.
  The 9th day of March, 2007 will go down in history as the Day that 
our Norcross High School Boys Basketball team became the AAAAA 
Champions of Georgia.
  The team has exhibited great moral character on and off the 
basketball court and through the halls of Norcross High.
  I was pleased to set aside April 21, 2007 to honor and recognize the 
Norcross High School Basketball Team for its victory for our District.
