SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 174
         WHEREAS, A banner year for Mission Veterans Memorial High
  School quarterback Landry Gilpin culminated in his receipt of the
  2018 Mr. Texas Football Player of the Year Award, which was
  presented by Dave Campbell's Texas Football magazine and Wells
  Fargo at the Texas Bowl on December 27 in Houston; and
         WHEREAS, Mr. Gilpin is the first player from the Rio Grande
  Valley to ever receive this highly prestigious title, which in
  previous years has been presented to a number of renowned players
  who have gone on to further glory in the collegiate and
  professional ranks; and
         WHEREAS, During the 2018 season, Mr. Gilpin threw for a
  record-breaking 4,545 yards and 50 touchdowns, and he also rushed
  for 2,115 yards and 32 TDs; he piloted the Patriots through a
  successful regular season, and his exceptional play helped the
  team reach the quarterfinals of the University Interscholastic
  League Class 5A Division 1 playoffs, becoming just the third Rio
  Grande Valley squad since 1990 to advance that far into the
  postseason; and
         WHEREAS, Mr. Gilpin also garnered other accolades for his
  superlative performance in 2018, including the 5A Offensive
  Player of the Year award from the Associated Press Sports Editors
  and recognition as the First Team quarterback in the APSE
  All-State selections; and
         WHEREAS, Over the course of his high school career, Landry
  Gilpin has distinguished himself as one of the finest football
  players in the Lone Star State, and he is indeed deserving of this
  coveted honor; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
  Legislature, hereby congratulate Landry Gilpin on earning the
  2018 Mr. Texas Football Player of the Year Award from Dave
  Campbell's Texas Football and Wells Fargo and extend to him
  sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
  prepared for Mr. Gilpin as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas Senate.
