| H.R. No. 1637 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Demonstrating great skill and dedication, the | ||
| six-man football team from Brenham Christian Academy captured the | ||
| 2010 Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools Division II | ||
| state championship on December 4, 2010; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Eagles won the title with a 52-12 victory over | ||
| Tyler Street Christian Academy of Dallas, completing a perfect 14-0 | ||
| season and taking home the first state championship in the school's | ||
| history; over the course of the 2010 campaign, the team outscored | ||
| its opponents 841 to 187 and registered five shutouts, an | ||
| impressive feat in the high-scoring environment of six-man | ||
| football; after winning just one game in 10 tries in the 2007 | ||
| season, the Eagles have posted a 38-2 record, a remarkable | ||
| turnaround for the program; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In their march to the state title, the Eagles | ||
| received valuable contributions from each member of the roster: | ||
| seniors Drew Anderson, James Anderson, Reagan Cameron, Dylan Cole, | ||
| Roy Dawson, Azamat Pate, Ian Roskow, and Michael Wolfskill; juniors | ||
| Kyle Armstrong, Austin Dettling, Royce Gross, Alex Pryor, and | ||
| Stephen Ridgway; sophomore Kris Rigsby; and freshmen Bryce | ||
| Armstrong, Collin Kolkhorst, Kyle Kolkhorst, Talgat Pate, David | ||
| Rigsby, Joey Steele, and Nate Taylor; and | ||
| WHEREAS, These talented athletes received essential guidance | ||
| from head coach Matt Tarbutton, who has taken Brenham Christian | ||
| Academy to the state finals in each of the two seasons he has led the | ||
| team, with the 2009 squad falling just one victory short of the | ||
| title; the Eagles also benefited from the knowledgeable advice of | ||
| assistant coaches Jesse Hayre, Peter Morissette, Les Armstrong, and | ||
| Denny Varghese; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Winning a state championship represents the | ||
| culmination of countless hours of hard work and an unwavering | ||
| commitment to excellence, and the members of the Brenham Christian | ||
| Academy Eagles football team will treasure the memory of this | ||
| accomplishment for many years to come; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the Brenham Christian Academy | ||
| football team on winning the 2010 TAPPS Six-man Division II state | ||
| football championship and extend to the 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. | ||
| Kolkhorst | ||
