| H.R. No. 1384 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The Lake Highlands High School football team put | ||
| together an outstanding 2020 season, claiming the District 7-6A | ||
| championship and advancing to the University Interscholastic | ||
| League playoffs; and | ||
| WHEREAS, For the first time in 25 years, the Wildcats | ||
| finished regular season competition undefeated, compiling 10 wins | ||
| without a loss; they closed out the regular schedule with a decisive | ||
| 49-0 victory over Irving High School that was the 400th football | ||
| triumph in school history; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In the opening round of the postseason, the Wildcats | ||
| matched up against a talented team from South Grand Prairie High | ||
| School on December 11; the Lake Highlands players turned in a | ||
| valiant effort but ultimately fell short, ending the season with a | ||
| final record of 10 wins and one loss; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Over the course of the season, the Wildcats received | ||
| valuable contributions from each member of the roster; these | ||
| determined student-athletes were ably guided by head coach Lonnie | ||
| Jordan, who was named a finalist for the 2020 Landry Coach of the | ||
| Year award from the Greater Dallas-Fort Worth Fellowship of | ||
| Christian Athletes; the honor is presented to the high school coach | ||
| in North Texas who best exemplifies the values that defined | ||
| legendary Dallas Cowboys football coach Tom Landry, both on and off | ||
| the field; and | ||
| WHEREAS, With their notable accomplishments on the gridiron | ||
| during 2020, the members of the Wildcat football team have earned | ||
| the admiration of their fellow students and their many community | ||
| supporters, and they may indeed reflect with pride on a job well | ||
| done; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the Lake Highlands High School | ||
| football team on a successful 2020 season and commend Coach Lonnie | ||
| Walker on being named a finalist for the Landry Coach of the Year | ||
| award; 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. | ||
| Turner of Dallas | ||
