coaching youth football when he was living in The Colony in 1987, | ||
and while there, his teams won 94 games while losing only 5, | ||
grabbing 8 league Super Bowl titles along the way; in 1996, he and | ||
his wife moved to Celina, where he has continued to coach and where | ||
his accomplishments have been even more impressive; and | ||

former players have participated in seven Texas state high school | ||
championship games; and | ||
WHEREAS, Working on a voluntary basis, Mr. Looper not only | ||
teaches winning football to his charges but encourages them to | ||
excel in all aspects of life; he expects exemplary conduct when the | ||
team travels, and he leads the boys in prayer before and after every | ||
game; through the years, he has directly influenced the lives of | ||
more than 1,000 young men, instilling in them a belief that a strong | ||
work ethic will lead to positive results; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through his determined efforts, Coach Looper has | ||
furthered the proud tradition of football excellence and | ||
participation that has long been a hallmark of the Lone Star State, | ||

commitment they need to become productive citizens; now, therefore, | ||
be it | ||
