By: Kolkhorst | H.R. No. 138 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The Navasota High School football team capped an | ||
undefeated season by winning the University Interscholastic League | ||
3A Division 2 state title at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington on | ||
December 21, 2012; and | ||
WHEREAS, With the victory, the Rattlers established | ||
themselves as the most successful squad in the school's history, | ||
capturing Navasota's first state championship in the sport and | ||
setting the record for most victories with their perfect 16-0 | ||
campaign; and | ||
WHEREAS, A juggernaut on offense, Navasota averaged more than | ||
42 points a game throughout the playoffs; in the 39-3 win over | ||
Gilmer in the championship final, it was Austin Collins who sparked | ||
the explosive attack; he was named the game's Offensive Most | ||
Valuable Player after running 82 yards for a touchdown and catching | ||
two scoring passes; meanwhile, the team's defenders held their | ||
opponent to just 162 total yards, and Jordan Wells racked up 10 | ||
tackles to earn the Defensive MVP honors; and | ||
WHEREAS, In an inspiring display of solidarity, the Navasota | ||
players wore the number 8 on their helmets during the title game to | ||
honor leading rusher and two-time all-state defensive back Xavier | ||
Creeks, who was unable to play after suffering a broken leg in a car | ||
accident the day before the final; and | ||
WHEREAS, The team was guided by head coach Lee Fedora, whose | ||
expertise and leadership were essential to his players' dominating | ||
performances all year long; only three opponents managed to briefly | ||
take a lead over the Rattlers, and Navasota did not trail after the | ||
first quarter in any of its games; moreover, 5 of its 10 regular | ||
season victories were shutouts; and | ||
WHEREAS, These talented student-athletes demonstrated | ||
admirable skill and determination in winning the state crown and | ||
attaining a flawless record against top competition, and they will | ||
forever treasure the memory of their outstanding accomplishments; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate the Navasota High School football | ||
team on winning the 2012 UIL 3A Division 2 state championship and | ||
extend to the team's players, coaches, and staff sincere best | ||
wishes for continued success; 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. |
