RECOGNIZING POPE SAINT JOHN PAUL II PREPARATORY SCHOOL

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 75 (Wednesday, April 29, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 75 (Wednesday, April 29, 2026)] [House] [Page H3135] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] 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. ____________________
