| WHEREAS, Through their swift actions, four Wichita Falls | ||
| High School football coaches played instrumental roles in | ||
| helping to save the life of a student on September 7, 2020; and | ||
| WHEREAS, On that day, Wichita Falls coaches Joshua Burris, | ||
| Garrett Evans, Grant Freeman, and Ryan Quezada were overseeing a | ||
| weight-lifting session for the football team when one of its | ||
| members collapsed; using their American Red Cross training, the | ||
| men immediately placed a call to 9-1-1, began conducting | ||
| assessments, and performed chest compressions on the youth, who | ||
| was lying unresponsive on the floor; the young man responded to | ||
| the treatment and was placed in one of the Red Cross's | ||
| recommended recovery positions for the emergency medical | ||
| services personnel who arrived shortly thereafter; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In recognition of their efforts, Coaches Burris, | ||
| Evans, Freeman, and Quezada were presented with American Red | ||
| Cross Lifesaving Awards for Professional Responders; the | ||
| accolade honors those individuals who have helped to save or | ||
| sustain a life by applying the training they have acquired in Red | ||
| Cross courses; and | ||
| WHEREAS, By acting with skill and composure when every | ||
| second counted, these dedicated Texans helped to prevent a crisis | ||
| situation from becoming a tragedy, and their efforts indeed merit | ||
| special recognition; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend Wichita Falls High School football | ||
| coaches Joshua Burris, Garrett Evans, Grant Freeman, and Ryan | ||
| Quezada for their actions in helping to save the life of a student | ||
| and extend to these men sincere best wishes for the future; and, | ||
| be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That official copies of this Resolution be | ||
| prepared for the coaches as an expression of high regard from the | ||
| Texas Senate. | ||
