| H.R. No. 306 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The Strawn High School football team reached the | ||
| pinnacle of success for the second consecutive season by winning | ||
| the 2018 1A Six-Man Division 2 state championship on December 19 at | ||
| AT&T Stadium in Arlington; and | ||
| WHEREAS, After claiming the District 10 title with a strong | ||
| showing in the regular season, the Greyhounds marched through the | ||
| postseason in dominant fashion; the team won each of its first four | ||
| playoff games by 45 points or more, defeating Gold-Burg, Walnut | ||
| Springs, Iredell, and Oakwood High Schools to earn a spot in the | ||
| title contest against Follett High; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In a game that was notable for featuring the | ||
| first-ever use of instant replay in state championship competition, | ||
| the Strawn players again overwhelmed their opponent; Offensive Most | ||
| Valuable Player Carlos Villanueva rushed for three touchdowns while | ||
| Defensive MVP Tanner Hodgkins recorded two sacks as the Greyhounds | ||
| won 48-0 after the mercy rule was invoked following just one half of | ||
| play; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The triumph marked the first time in school history | ||
| that Strawn has collected back-to-back state crowns, and it | ||
| represented the Greyhounds' fourth state title overall, each of | ||
| which has come under the guidance of head coach Dewaine Lee; the | ||
| team finished the 2018 campaign with an outstanding record of 13 | ||
| wins and just 2 losses; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In winning consecutive state championships, the | ||
| Greyhounds of Strawn High School have earned a place among the elite | ||
| teams in Texas six-man high school football, and the players will | ||
| forever treasure their memories of this notable achievement; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the Strawn High School football | ||
| team on winning the 2018 UIL 1A Six-Man Division 2 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. | ||
