WHEREAS, Tim Looper has consistently had outstanding success |
|
|
with the Celina Pee Wee Football sixth-grade boys team, introducing |

area youth to the fun, dedication, and camaraderie of organized |
|
|
athletics; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Looper first learned the sport in his native |
|
|
Pilot Point, where he played for the local high school; he began |
|
|
coaching youth football in The Colony in 1987, and while there, his |
|
|
teams won 94 games while losing only 5, grabbing 8 league Super Bowl |
|
|
titles along the way; in 1996, he started coaching in Celina, where |
|
|
his accomplishments have been even more impressive; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Over the course of 150 games, Mr. Looper's Celina |
|
|
teams have won a remarkable 146 times, suffering just 3 losses and 1 |
|
|
tie; they have also won 12 league Super Bowl titles, including 10 |
|
|
championships in a row; athletes who were taught gridiron |
|
|
fundamentals on his teams have gone on to further success, and his |
|
|
former players have participated in seven Texas state high school |
|
|
championship games; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Working on a voluntary basis, Mr. Looper not only |
|
|
teaches winning football to his charges but encourages them to |
|
|
excel in all aspects of life; he expects exemplary conduct when the |
|
|
team travels, and he leads the boys in prayer before and after every |
|
|
game; through the years, he has directly influenced the lives of |
|
|
more than 1,000 young men, instilling in them a belief that a strong |
|
|
work ethic will lead to positive results; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through his determined efforts, Coach Looper has |
|
|
furthered the proud tradition of football excellence and |
|
|
participation that has long been a hallmark of the Lone Star State, |
|
|
and he has helped numerous young Texans to develop the character and |
|
|
commitment they need to become productive citizens; now, therefore, |
|
|
be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
|

|
|
