| WHEREAS, Two different Canton squads took part in the state | ||
| competition, and the Eagles' A Team scored a total of 3,217 points | ||
| to best second-place winner Argyle High, a previous three-time | ||
| state champion; the Canton B Team also turned in a fine performance | ||
| to finish in third with a total score of 3,166; with their triumph | ||
| in the tournament, the Canton archers qualified to take part in the | ||
| National Tournament in Louisville, Kentucky, and they will also | ||

| WHEREAS, Under the skillful guidance of Coach Danny | ||
| Yarbrough, the Eagles dominated their opponents in all three | ||
| invitation meets of the season, scoring victories at Union Grove, | ||
| Flower Mound, and Ennis; since winning the 2010 title in its first | ||
| year of competition, Canton's team has built its fan base and gained | ||
| numerous members, enabling it to field two full squads of 24 | ||
| students each; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The two state titles attained by the Canton High | ||
| archers are a testament to their talent, hard work, and dedication, | ||
| and they are a source of great pride to their school and their many | ||
| supporters in the community; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the Canton High School archery team | ||
| on winning its second consecutive state championship and extend to | ||
| its members sincere best wishes for continued achievement; and, be | ||
| it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the team as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
