| H.R. No. 30 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor football team | ||
| reached the pinnacle of success by winning the NCAA Division III | ||
| national championship with a victory in the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl | ||
| on December 14, 2018; and | ||
| WHEREAS, After going undefeated in the regular season and | ||
| claiming the American Southwest Conference title, the Crusaders | ||
| began their thrilling run through the postseason with a 27-6 win | ||
| over Hardin-Simmons University; they then reeled off victories over | ||
| Berry College, Saint John's University, and the University of | ||
| Wisconsin-Whitewater to set up a Stagg Bowl rematch with the | ||
| University of Mount Union, the same team that had defeated UMHB in | ||
| the 2017 Division III title game; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Crusaders fell behind 10-0 in the first quarter | ||
| but rallied to take a 14-13 lead into halftime; the team added | ||
| another touchdown and a field goal in the second half while holding | ||
| Mount Union to just three more points; when the final seconds ticked | ||
| off the clock, UMHB recorded a 24-16 win and collected its second | ||
| national crown in the past three years; and | ||
| WHEREAS, By once again proving themselves the finest Division | ||
| III team in the nation, the UMHB Crusaders have furthered the | ||
| university's reputation as a gridiron powerhouse, and this | ||
| achievement will be fondly remembered for many years to come; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the University of Mary | ||
| Hardin-Baylor football team on winning the 2018 NCAA Division III | ||
| national 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. | ||
