occasion of her 1,334th win, which establishes her as the most | ||
victorious coach in American high school basketball history; and | ||
WHEREAS, Coach Andrews began her remarkable career in 1962 | ||
at Tolar High School; driven by the will to succeed, she studied | ||

to 1980; and | ||

amassed 34 consecutive seasons with 20 or more wins and has taken | ||

Christi Calallen High School to the state championship title; and | ||
WHEREAS, Coach Andrews returned to Granbury High School in | ||
1992 and in 2005 became the winningest high school girls' | ||
basketball coach in history; surpassing the record for boys' | ||
basketball and becoming the most victorious coach in history is a | ||
testament to her superior skills and her determination; and | ||
WHEREAS, Coach Andrews has instilled in many generations | ||
of players the importance of teamwork and a strong work ethic; | ||
her enduring emphasis on building character in all aspects of | ||
life has served as an inspiration to her students and her | ||
colleagues for nearly 50 years; and | ||
WHEREAS, Coach Andrews has had a profound influence on | ||
countless young people, preparing them for success both on and | ||
off the court, and she is truly deserving of recognition for her | ||
dedication and commitment as she passes this historic milestone; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd | ||
Legislature, hereby commend Coach Leta Andrews on her | ||
exceptional career and extend to her congratulations on becoming | ||
the most victorious coach in American high school basketball | ||
