H.R. No. 244 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The Aledo High School football team once again | ||
proved itself one of the finest in Texas when it claimed the 2018 | ||
University Interscholastic League 5A Division 2 state championship | ||
on December 21; and | ||
WHEREAS, Ranked No. 1 in Class 5A, the Bearcats went | ||
undefeated in the regular season and won the District 5 title; the | ||
team maintained its momentum throughout the playoffs, defeating | ||
Dallas Seagoville, Lucas Lovejoy, Dallas South Oak Cliff, Frisco | ||
Reedy, and Wichita Falls Rider High Schools to earn the school's | ||
10th trip to the state finale; and | ||
WHEREAS, Competing in front of a crowd of more than 26,000 | ||
fans at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Aledo matched up against Fort | ||
Bend Marshall High School in a battle of unbeaten teams; taking | ||
command of the game with a strong running attack, the Bearcats never | ||
trailed, and their relentless defense notched three sacks and a | ||
fumble recovery while largely holding Marshall in check; triumphing | ||
by a final score of 55-19, Aledo hoisted the championship trophy for | ||
the seventh time in the past 10 years and tied a UIL record by | ||
collecting the school's eighth state title overall; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Bearcats were led by Jase McClellan, who was | ||
named Offensive Most Valuable Player after rushing for three | ||
touchdowns and adding a scoring reception; on the other side of the | ||
ball, Defensive MVP Wyatt Harris collected six tackles; ably guided | ||
by head coach Steve Wood and his assistants, Aledo received | ||
valuable contributions from each member of the roster over the | ||
course of the 2018 campaign; and | ||
WHEREAS, By accomplishing the rare feat of winning eight | ||
state championships, the Aledo Bearcats have distinguished | ||
themselves as a gridiron powerhouse, and all those associated with | ||
the team may reflect with pride on a job well done; now, therefore, | ||
be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate the Aledo High School football team | ||
on winning the 2018 UIL 5A Division 2 state championship and extend | ||
to the team's players, coaches, and staff sincere best wishes for | ||
the future; 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 Parker | ||
