|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The football team of Canadian High School reached | ||
| the pinnacle of success by winning the 2020 University | ||
| Interscholastic League 3A Division 2 state championship on December | ||
| 17 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The championship victory earned the school its fifth | ||
| state crown overall and its third since 2014; the Wildcats proved | ||
| their gridiron abilities all year long and compiled an impressive | ||
| 9-1 regular season record; after opening the playoffs with a win | ||
| against Coahoma, the team dispatched Bangs, Idalou, Childress, and | ||
| Gunter High Schools to earn a spot in the finals; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Facing off against Franklin High School with the | ||
| state title on the line, the Wildcats began the game with two | ||
| first-quarter touchdowns and led by seven points at the end of the | ||
| third quarter; in a thrilling final period, Franklin scored 20 | ||
| points to take a 34-28 lead with just over a minute remaining but | ||
| missed a crucial extra point attempt; the Canadian offense rose to | ||
| the occasion, scoring on a 52-yard touchdown pass to tie the game; | ||
| the Wildcats then converted their kick, and the Canadian faithful | ||
| celebrated a nail-biting 35-34 victory; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Excelling with a true team effort, the Wildcats | ||
| received valuable contributions from each member of the roster over | ||
| the course of the 2020 campaign; the players were ably guided by | ||
| head coach Chris Koetting and a dedicated staff of assistant | ||
| coaches and managers; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Through hard work and an unwavering resolve to give | ||
| their very best, the talented student-athletes of the Canadian High | ||
| School football team have brought great credit to their school and | ||
| their community, and they may indeed reflect with pride on all that | ||
| they have accomplished; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the Canadian High School football | ||
| team on winning the 2020 UIL 3A Division 2 state championship and | ||
| extend to all those associated with the squad 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. | ||
