H.R. No. 954 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The Muenster High School football team reached the | ||
pinnacle of success by capturing the 2017 University | ||
Interscholastic League 2A Division 2 state championship on December | ||
21 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington; and | ||
WHEREAS, En route to a perfect 16-0 record, the Hornets | ||
bested all of their league opponents to claim the District 8-2A | ||
crown; they went on to excel in postseason battles against | ||
Petrolia, Iraan, Munday, and Albany High Schools before punching | ||
their ticket to the state championship game with a 31-28 victory | ||
over Wellington High School in the semifinals; and | ||
WHEREAS, Matching up against the previously unbeaten squad | ||
from Tenaha High School in the finale, Muenster got off to a strong | ||
start, but Tenaha closed the gap and took the lead early in the | ||
second half; with the trophy on the line, the Hornets turned the | ||
tide with an explosive third quarter in which they scored a total of | ||
17 points to clinch the school's first state title with a 27-20 win; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Muenster's success was the result of a true team | ||
effort, with each member of the roster providing valuable | ||
contributions over the course of the season; these determined | ||
athletes drew on the expertise and inspirational leadership of head | ||
coach Brady Carney and assistant coaches Jeff Presnall, Jeff | ||
Smiley, Mark Stevens, and Josh Wheeler; and | ||
WHEREAS, The members of the Muenster Hornets football team | ||
demonstrated admirable skill and dedication in winning the state | ||
championship and attaining a flawless record against top | ||
competition, and they will forever treasure the memory of this | ||
outstanding achievement; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate the Muenster High School football | ||
team on winning the 2017 UIL 2A Division 2 state championship and | ||
extend to all those associated with the squad 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. | ||
