R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The football team of Byron P. Steele II High School
in Cibolo won the University Interscholastic League 5A Division II
state championship on December 18, 2010, with a hard-fought 24-21
victory over Guyer High School of Denton; and
WHEREAS, The Knights held a talented Guyer team to its
second-lowest point total of the season to claim the title in front
of nearly 38,000 fans at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington; Steele High

for 112 yards and was named offensive most valuable player of the
game; Kwame Clark sealed the victory with an interception that
ended Guyer's final drive; and
WHEREAS, Under the guidance of head coach Michael Jinks and
his staff, the Knights won their last 13 games of the season to
finish with a 14-2 record; as a result of its exceptional play, the
team achieved national prominence with a rating of number 49 in the
country in the final Powerade Fab 50 rankings from ESPN Rise; and
WHEREAS, Winning a state championship is the culmination of
countless hours of hard work and an unwavering commitment to
excellence, and these dedicated student-athletes may take
justifiable pride in their outstanding accomplishment; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Byron P. Steele II High School
football team on winning the UIL 5A Division II state championship
and extend sincere best wishes to the players, coaches, and staff
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
