| H.R. No. 352 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Reaching the pinnacle of success in his sport, | ||
| Cooper Davis was named the 2016 Professional Bull Riders World | ||
| Champion on November 6; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A Jasper native, Mr. Davis began his PBR career in | ||
| 2015, and he notched a dramatic victory that year when he became | ||
| just the fourth rookie competitor in history to win first place at | ||
| the organization's World Finals event; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The talented young Texan had a slow start in 2016 | ||
| because of an injury that kept him from performing at some of the | ||
| year's early events, and he also suffered a broken collarbone | ||
| partway through the season; refusing to give up on his championship | ||
| dream, he was back in action just 17 days after undergoing surgery | ||
| and made a strong showing in the latter part of the year; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mr. Davis entered the PBR World Finals in Las Vegas | ||
| as a top contender for the World Champion title; on the final day of | ||
| the weeklong contest, he earned an outstanding 91-point score in | ||
| the fifth round of the competition, clinching third place at the | ||
| event and propelling him to first place in the overall rankings for | ||
| the season; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Through skill, hard work, and perseverance, Cooper | ||
| Davis has distinguished himself as the top bull rider in the world, | ||
| and he may indeed reflect with pride on this remarkable | ||
| accomplishment; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate Cooper Davis on winning the 2016 | ||
| PBR World Champion title and extend to him sincere best wishes for | ||
| continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Mr. Davis as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
