  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Carl Cochran of Minden, Iowa for being inducted into the 
Tri-Center High School Basketball Hall of Fame.
  The Basketball Hall of Fame at Tri-Center was established in 1991 to 
honor players and coaches who have contributed to the success of Tri-
Center's outstanding basketball tradition. Over fifty players and 
coaches have been inducted into the hall of fame.
  Over his 39 year career with Tri-Center, Coach Cochran won 551 games, 
made five state tournaments, won five Western Iowa Conference 
Championships, five Conference Tournament Championships, eight District 
Championships, and five Substate Championships. Coach Cochran was also 
awarded the State of Iowa Coach of the Year in 1986 and 2008 and was 
inducted into the Iowa High School Athletic Association's Hall of Fame 
in 2009.
  In addition to these many honors Coach Cochran has a well-deserved 
reputation for helping produce great students and guiding them to 
become even better young adults. Mr. Speaker, the example set by Coach 
Cochran and the countless hours of devotion to his students 
demonstrates the rewards of hard work, dedication, and perseverance.
  I am honored to represent Carl and his family in the United States 
Congress. I know that all of my colleagues in the House join me in 
congratulating him on this latest honor and wish him the best of luck 
in the future.
