|
||
WHEREAS, Michael Treybig is retiring from his position as | ||
head football coach and athletic director of the Palacios | ||
Independent School District in June 2013, drawing to a close an | ||
impressive 34-year career in education and athletics; and | ||
WHEREAS, A Palacios native who spent his early childhood in | ||
the city, Mike Treybig began his coaching career in 1980 at Marian | ||
Christian High School in Houston; there, he served as the defensive | ||
coordinator and, later, as head coach of the football team, and he | ||
guided the school's track athletes to three state championships; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, He went on to coach at Stafford and Van Vleck High | ||
Schools before becoming the head football coach and athletic | ||
director for the Industrial and Sweeny Independent School | ||
Districts; along the way, his football teams claimed numerous | ||
district championships, and he earned multiple coach of the year | ||
awards; in addition to his accomplishments on the gridiron, he | ||
coached other sports, including track and cross-country at Stafford | ||
and track and power lifting at Sweeny; moreover, his work as an | ||
educator has included teaching assignments for history and physical | ||
education classes, and he served as the principal of Industrial | ||
High School during the 1995-1996 school year; and | ||
WHEREAS, In 2005, Coach Treybig returned to his hometown to | ||
become the head coach and athletic director; he guided the Fighting | ||
Sharks to the state playoffs in 2007, the team's first appearance in | ||
the postseason in 43 years, and that achievement earned him the | ||
Coach of the Year award from the Victoria Advocate; in his work as | ||
athletic director, he has helped build support for the Booster Club | ||
scholarship program and established the Palacios Athletic Hall of | ||
Honor; and | ||
WHEREAS, Beyond the victories and awards, Coach Treybig's | ||
most significant contribution is the positive role he has played in | ||
the lives of hundreds of student-athletes; he has placed a strong | ||
emphasis on academics and has introduced many young Texans to the | ||
importance of community service by involving them in such efforts | ||
as collecting items for local food banks and raising funds for | ||
cancer research; his work as a mentor was honored in 2010, when he | ||
received the University Interscholastic League Sponsor Excellence | ||
Award; and | ||
WHEREAS, In all his endeavors, Coach Treybig enjoys the love | ||
and support of his wife of 32 years, Jil, who works as a junior high | ||
school librarian; the couple have raised three daughters, Jayme, | ||
Jessica, and Jenna, two of whom have followed in their parents' | ||
footsteps and entered the field of education; and | ||
WHEREAS, For more than three decades, Mike Treybig has helped | ||
teach young Texans important lessons about teamwork and commitment, | ||
and he may indeed reflect with pride on his many accomplishments as | ||
he looks forward to the next exciting chapter of his life; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Michael Treybig on his retirement | ||
from the Palacios Independent School District and extend to him | ||
sincere best wishes for continued happiness; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Coach Treybig as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. |
