| H.R. No. 359 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Continuing a notable tradition of success on the | ||
| gridiron, the Crowell High School football team captured the 2014 | ||
| University Interscholastic League Six-Man 1A Division 1 state | ||
| championship on December 13, 2014, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington; | ||
| and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Wildcats claimed their second consecutive state | ||
| championship with a dominating 62-16 triumph over May High School, | ||
| in a rematch of the 2013 title game; Crowell's explosive offense | ||
| proved too much for its opponent to handle, as the team tallied 56 | ||
| first-half points and closed the game out with a third-quarter | ||
| score that invoked the 45-point "mercy rule"; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Pacing the Wildcats offense was quarterback | ||
| Mitchell Parsley, who racked up 224 total yards and accounted for | ||
| seven touchdowns on his way to earning the Offensive Most Valuable | ||
| Player award; the Crowell defense was led by linebacker Steven | ||
| Perez, who was named the game's defensive MVP for his exceptional | ||
| efforts; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Following in the tradition of previous Crowell | ||
| teams, the Wildcats excelled as a result of the determination | ||
| demonstrated by each member of the roster: in addition to | ||
| Mr. Parsley and Mr. Perez, the team includes Nathan Moya, Taylor | ||
| Burkett, Evan De Los Santos, Joey Taylor, Tyler Durham, Kevin | ||
| Strickland, Bucky Robinson, Nathan Richardson, Will Hogan, Rylie | ||
| Kajs, Javier Aguilera, Danny De La Pena, Tristen Hayes, Nick | ||
| Gonzales, Jared Brown, Scotty Barberee, and Trevor Johnson; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The 2014 Crowell squad thrived under the leadership | ||
| of head coach Nathan Hayes, as they compiled the school's first | ||
| undefeated record, with 14 wins and no losses; moreover, the | ||
| Wildcats received additional guidance from defensive coordinator | ||
| Reece Walker and assistant coaches Anthony Barrera and Scott | ||
| Bearden; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Winning consecutive state championships is a rare | ||
| feat that requires countless hours of hard work and an unwavering | ||
| commitment to excellence, and the members of the Crowell High | ||
| School football team may take justifiable pride in their remarkable | ||
| accomplishments; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the Crowell High School football | ||
| team on winning the 2014 UIL Six-Man 1A 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. | ||
