WHEREAS, The Aledo High School football team once again | ||
proved itself one of the finest in Texas when it claimed the 2018 | ||
University Interscholastic League 5A Division 2 state | ||
championship on December 21; and | ||
WHEREAS, Ranked No. 1 in Class 5A, the Bearcats went | ||
undefeated in the regular season and won the District 5 title; | ||
the team maintained its momentum throughout the playoffs, | ||
defeating Dallas Seagoville, Lucas Lovejoy, Dallas South Oak | ||
Cliff, Frisco Reedy, and Wichita Falls Rider High Schools to earn | ||
the school's 10th trip to the state finale; and | ||
WHEREAS, Competing in front of a crowd of more than 26,000 | ||
fans at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Aledo matched up against Fort | ||
Bend Marshall High School in a battle of unbeaten teams; taking | ||
command of the game with a strong running attack, the Bearcats | ||
never trailed, and their relentless defense notched three sacks | ||
and a fumble recovery while largely holding Marshall in check; | ||
triumphing by a final score of 55-19, Aledo hoisted the | ||
championship trophy for the seventh time in the past 10 years and | ||
tied a UIL record by collecting the school's eighth state title | ||
overall; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Bearcats were led by Jase McClellan, who was | ||
named Offensive Most Valuable Player after rushing for three | ||
touchdowns and adding a scoring reception; on the other side of | ||
the ball, Defensive MVP Wyatt Harris collected six tackles; ably | ||
guided by head coach Steve Wood and his assistants, Aledo | ||
received valuable contributions from each member of the roster | ||
over the course of the 2018 campaign; and | ||
WHEREAS, By accomplishing the rare feat of winning eight | ||
state championships, the Aledo Bearcats have distinguished | ||
themselves as a gridiron powerhouse, and all those associated | ||
with the team may reflect with pride on a job well done; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
Legislature, hereby congratulate the Aledo High School football | ||
team on winning the 2018 University Interscholastic League 5A | ||
Division 2 state championship and extend to the team's players, | ||
coaches, and staff sincere best wishes for the future; 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 Senate. | ||
Fallon | ||
