| H.R. No. 215 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The McLean High School football team reached the | ||
| pinnacle of success by capturing the 2018 University | ||
| Interscholastic League 1A Six-Man Division 1 state championship on | ||
| December 19 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington; and | ||
| WHEREAS, During the regular season, the Tigers posted six | ||
| shutouts and claimed the District 1 title; McLean continued its | ||
| dominance in the playoffs, besting Petersburg, Aspermont, White | ||
| Deer, and Garden City High Schools to advance to the state finale; | ||
| and | ||
| WHEREAS, McLean matched up against Milford High School in the | ||
| championship game, and the two teams were locked in a tight battle | ||
| for much of the contest; the Tigers erupted for 44 points in the | ||
| last stanza, however, tacking on a final 57-yard touchdown run with | ||
| less than a minute to play; that score brought the final tally to | ||
| 100-70, which gave McLean the distinction of being the only team to | ||
| date to rack up a triple-digit total in a six-man state title | ||
| contest; when the last seconds ticked off the clock, the Tigers | ||
| collected the first state crown in school history and celebrated an | ||
| unblemished season record of 15 wins and no losses; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Leading the McLean attack was Ben Crockett, who was | ||
| named Offensive Most Valuable Player after setting a championship | ||
| game record by running for nine touchdowns and throwing for three | ||
| more; on the other side of the ball, Defensive MVP Chism Henderson | ||
| contributed eight tackles and two sacks; ably guided by head coach | ||
| Clinton Linman and his assistants, the Tigers received valuable | ||
| contributions from each member of the roster over the course of the | ||
| 2018 campaign; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Winning a state championship represents the | ||
| culmination of countless hours of hard work and an unwavering | ||
| commitment to excellence, and these talented student-athletes will | ||
| treasure the memory of this accomplishment for the rest of their | ||
| lives; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the McLean High School football | ||
| team on winning the 2018 UIL 1A Six-Man Division 1 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. | ||
| King of Hemphill | ||
