Cypress; and | ||
WHEREAS, Sparked by Axel Hernandez's state title victory in | ||
the 106-pound weight division and Jesse Martinez's second-place | ||
finish in the 113-pound weight class, Dumas claimed the silver | ||
medal in 5A team competition, coming within a narrow margin of | ||

Diego Falcon, and Davin Gates; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Demons benefited from the able guidance of head | ||
coach Clint Chamblin and assistant coach Chris Holzworth over the | ||
course of the 2018-2019 campaign; Coach Chamblin, who directed | ||
Dumas to its two state crowns, was named Wrestling Coach of the Year | ||
by the Texas Panhandle Sports Hall of Fame and also earned the Coach | ||
of the Year honor at the regional tournament; Coach Holzworth | ||
garnered the Assistant Coach of the Year awards at the state and | ||
regional competitions; and | ||
WHEREAS, The talented and hardworking members of the Dumas | ||
High School boys' wrestling team have realized an exceptional | ||
accomplishment by placing second at the state tournament, and in so | ||
doing, they have become a source of great pride for their fellow | ||
students and their many supporters in the community; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate the Dumas High School boys' | ||
