H.R. No. 439 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Craig Yenzer is retiring as head football coach and | ||
athletic coordinator at Midland High School in June 2017, drawing | ||
to a close a notable career in school athletics that has spanned | ||
nearly four decades; and | ||
WHEREAS, After graduating from Oklahoma State University in | ||
1979, Craig Yenzer gained experience as a teacher and coach at | ||
schools in Guthrie, Newkirk, and Tuttle, Oklahoma; his involvement | ||
in Texas high school football began when he was hired at Hereford | ||
High School; he served as an assistant coach for a decade before | ||
being promoted to head coach and athletic director, and his tenure | ||
was highlighted by his team's appearance in the 4A Division 1 state | ||
title game in 1999; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mr. Yenzer took over as the Midland High head coach | ||
in 2002, and during his inaugural season, he piloted the Bulldogs | ||
not only to their first postseason berth in more than half a century | ||
but also to an appearance in the state finals; the longest-serving | ||
and winningest head football coach in school history, he has | ||
compiled an impressive overall record of 103 wins and 70 losses and | ||
taken his team to the playoffs in 10 of his 15 seasons with Midland; | ||
in addition, 72 of his student-athletes have gone on to play | ||
football at the collegiate level; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through his vision and leadership, Craig Yenzer has | ||
helped build a proud tradition of gridiron excellence at Midland | ||
High School, and he may reflect with pride on his many achievements | ||
as he embarks on the next exciting chapter of his life; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Craig Yenzer on his retirement as | ||
head football coach and athletic coordinator at Midland High School | ||
and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued happiness; and, | ||
be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Coach Yenzer as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
Craddick | ||
