H.R. No. 995

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The members of the 2005 Trinity High School football
team were inducted into the Hurst-Euless-Bedford Sports Hall of
Fame on February 16, 2013; and
WHEREAS, Since 1995, the H-E-B Sports Hall of Fame has paid
tribute to individuals and teams who have made a positive impact in
the community through sports-related endeavors; the hall was
created to honor successful teams and athletes as well as
officials, administrators, trainers, medical practitioners, media
figures, and others who have distinguished themselves with their
achievements; and
WHEREAS, The 2005 Trojans realized an exceptional milestone
by becoming the first Trinity football team to win a state
championship, claiming the University Interscholastic League 5A
Division 1 title and finishing with a near-perfect 14-1 record; and
WHEREAS, Guided by head coach Steve Lineweaver, the Trojans
featured a high-scoring offense that averaged 45 points per game;
on the other side of the ball, the ferocious Trinity defense notched
a pair of shutouts and held its opponents to a total of 34 points in
the final three play-off games that secured the state crown; and
WHEREAS, This dynamic group of young men is also noteworthy
for introducing the haka as a Trojan tradition; an ancient
Polynesian war dance symbolizing pride and unity, the haka made its
debut before the first game of the 2005 season and remains an
inspiring and beloved part of the team's pregame warm-up; and
WHEREAS, In attaining its first football title, Trinity High
School announced its arrival as a gridiron powerhouse, and the
Trojans have gone on to claim two additional state championships in
the years since; that initial march through the play-offs continues
to be a cherished memory for everyone associated with Trinity
football, and the 2005 team is indeed deserving of this prestigious
honor; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the members of the 2005 Trinity
Trojans football team on their induction into the
Hurst-Euless-Bedford Sports Hall of Fame and extend to them sincere
best wishes for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared
for the former teammates as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
