| H.R. No. 641 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The Cisco High School football team capped an | ||
| undefeated season by winning the 2013 University Interscholastic | ||
| League 2A Division 2 state championship on December 19, 2013, at | ||
| AT&T Stadium in Arlington; and | ||
| WHEREAS, With this outstanding victory, the Loboes claimed | ||
| their first state championship and completed a memorable season in | ||
| which they compiled a perfect 16-0 record; Cisco combined an | ||
| explosive offensive attack with a punishing defense to triumph in | ||
| each of its regular season games and win the District 4-2A crown; | ||
| the team continued its fine play in the postseason, dominating its | ||
| first four opponents and clinching a berth in the 2A Division 2 | ||
| finale with a comfortable 55-6 victory over Leonard High School in | ||
| the semifinals; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Loboes faced off against a familiar foe in the | ||
| state championship game, taking on the same Refugio High School | ||
| squad that defeated Cisco in the 2011 title matchup; determined to | ||
| not let history repeat itself, Cisco jumped out to a lead in the | ||
| first quarter and headed into halftime ahead by one touchdown; the | ||
| Loboes then tallied 28 points in a decisive third quarter, with | ||
| quarterback Colton Kent taking part in three of the touchdowns, two | ||
| resulting from long pass plays and one coming on a 63-yard run; when | ||
| the final seconds ticked off the clock in the fourth quarter, the | ||
| Loboes claimed a 56-36 victory and the state championship; Mr. Kent | ||
| was named the game's Offensive Most Valuable Player for his | ||
| efforts, and teammate Mason Reed earned the Defensive MVP honor for | ||
| his performance on the other side of the ball; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Ably led by head coach Brent West, the Loboes | ||
| received essential contributions throughout the year from each | ||
| member of the roster as they reached the pinnacle of success on the | ||
| gridiron; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Winning a state championship is the culmination of | ||
| countless hours of hard work and an unwavering commitment to | ||
| excellence, and these talented student-athletes and their | ||
| supporters will treasure the memory of this outstanding | ||
| accomplishment for many years to come; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the Cisco High School football team | ||
| on winning the 2013 UIL 2A Division 2 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. | ||
