| H.R. No. 754 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The East Bernard High School football team won the | ||
| 2012 University Interscholastic League 2A Division 2 state | ||
| championship with a victory in the title game held on December 20, | ||
| 2012, at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Matching up against Mildred High School of | ||
| Corsicana, the Brahmas excelled with an outstanding team effort; | ||
| three players rushed for more than 100 yards, and four players | ||
| scored touchdowns as East Bernard put points on the board in eight | ||
| of its first nine drives; meanwhile, the defense tallied six sacks | ||
| and shut down the Mildred offense for most of the game en route to a | ||
| commanding 56-14 win; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The triumph in the state final capped a remarkable | ||
| season in which the Brahmas went undefeated for the first time in | ||
| school history; along the way, they posted numerous shutouts and | ||
| toppled highly regarded foes such as defending state champion | ||
| Refugio, their opponent in the playoff quarterfinals; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Ably guided by head coach Jerry Long and his staff, | ||
| the Brahmas also benefited from the strong support of their | ||
| classmates and the entire East Bernard community; in attaining | ||
| their season-long goal of winning the state crown, these determined | ||
| young athletes have become a source of great pride to their fans, | ||
| and their exceptional performance on the gridiron in 2012 will long | ||
| be remembered and celebrated; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the East Bernard High School | ||
| football team on winning the UIL 2A Division 2 state championship | ||
| and extend sincere best wishes to the team's 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 | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
