H.R. No. 593 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The football team from Lake Travis High School in | ||
Austin claimed the 2010 University Interscholastic League 4A | ||
Division 1 state championship with a commanding 27-7 victory in the | ||
title game on December 18, and this triumph earned the Cavaliers the | ||
rare distinction of having won four consecutive state crowns; and | ||
WHEREAS, Playing before 20,487 fans at Cowboys Stadium in | ||
Arlington, Lake Travis dominated the highly respected team from | ||
Ryan High School in Denton, who entered the game with a perfect 15-0 | ||
record; the Lake Travis defense was key to the win, denying Ryan a | ||
first down until the third quarter and holding the Raiders to a | ||
single touchdown overall; leading the charge was linebacker Austin | ||
Williams, who tallied nine tackles and was named the game's | ||
defensive most valuable player; other key figures in the effort | ||
were safety Zach Streuling, cornerback Omar Duke-Tinson, defensive | ||
end Shaquille Marable, and defensive tackle Jonathan Roberts, who | ||
combined for 19 tackles; and | ||
WHEREAS, The offensive MVP award went to Cavalier quarterback | ||
Michael Brewer, who passed for 211 yards and scored two touchdowns; | ||
adding to the point total were fullback Colin Lagasse, who scored a | ||
touchdown, and all-state kicker Stephen Pyle, who contributed field | ||
goals of 44 and 30 yards; and | ||
WHEREAS, First-year head coach Hank Carter continued the | ||
winning tradition that has been established at Lake Travis, which | ||
is the only 4A school in Texas to win four straight titles; the | ||
Cavaliers have now triumphed in 24 playoff games in a row, one short | ||
of the state record, and over the past four years they have amassed | ||
a 61-3 record; and | ||
WHEREAS, All members of the Lake Travis roster contributed to | ||
the title-winning effort in 2010, and special recognition is due | ||
the team's senior players: Cody Alexander, Justin Alexander, Jeremy | ||
Amberger, Dylan Bittles, Michael Brewer, Johnathan Briones, | ||
Anthony Carchi, Alex Chapman, Kyle Connell, Sean Craig, Taylor | ||
Doyle, Omar Duke-Tinson, Garrett Faber, Evan Faust, Clay Flinn, | ||
Conner Floyd, Tanner Gillette, Luis Godinez, Axel Gomez, Adam | ||
Jemmott, Will Jones, Jake Kotalik, Bryan Kribbs, Casey Laney, Nick | ||
Magnella, Shaquille Marable, Alex Matthews, Turney Maurer, Connor | ||
Nelson, Michael Pojman, Stephen Pyle, Cullen Richardson, Jonathan | ||
Roberts, Sam Schlanger, Alex Smelcer, Andreas Soto, Gokmen Tireng, | ||
Alex Walsh, Austin Williams, and Reagan Womack; and | ||
WHEREAS, Winning four consecutive state championships is a | ||
rare feat that is the culmination of countless hours of hard work | ||
and an unwavering commitment to excellence, and the Cavaliers 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 Lake Travis High School | ||
football team on winning the UIL 4A Division 1 state championship | ||
for 2010 and extend to the 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. | ||
