                                  R E S O L U T I O N
    1-1        WHEREAS, While few athletic teams are able to realize the
    1-2  dream of attaining a state championship in their given sport, fewer
    1-3  still can marshal the dedication and drive to duplicate such a
    1-4  phenomenal task; among that elite group is the Schulenburg High
    1-5  School Shorthorns, who recently earned their second consecutive
    1-6  title as University Interscholastic League Class 2A football
    1-7  champions; and
    1-8        WHEREAS, In the majestic confines of the Astrodome, the
    1-9  Shorthorns dominated an excellent Goldthwaite football team,
   1-10  cruising to an easy 35-20 victory in the championship game; and
   1-11        WHEREAS, An overall record of 15 wins against only 1 defeat
   1-12  was indicative of the consistent excellence that was the hallmark
   1-13  of this remarkable Schulenburg team; and
   1-14        WHEREAS, Under the direction of head coach David Husmann, who
   1-15  provided unwavering guidance and tireless support to his athletes,
   1-16  the Shorthorns now stand on the threshold of establishing a
   1-17  football dynasty; and
   1-18        WHEREAS, Although each team member made a significant
   1-19  contribution to the Shorthorns' success, several players also
   1-20  attained individual honors; quarterback Casey Taber was deservedly
   1-21  named the Associated Press Class 2A offensive player of the year,
   1-22  and Cale Kobza, Travis Wagner, Glen Lindblade, and Michael Demel
   1-23  all earned spots on the Class 2A District 28 first team; and
   1-24        WHEREAS, This exceptional group of young men along with their
    2-1  coaches and staff have been a tremendous source of pride to the
    2-2  students and faculty of Schulenburg High School and their many
    2-3  supporters in the community, and their exceptional achievements
    2-4  have rightfully earned them special legislative recognition; now,
    2-5  therefore, be it
    2-6        RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 73rd Texas
    2-7  Legislature hereby congratulate Coach David Husmann and the
    2-8  Schulenburg High School Shorthorns on their superb 1992 football
    2-9  campaign and second consecutive Class 2A football championship;
   2-10  and, be it further
   2-11        RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared
   2-12  for the members of the team and coaching staff and that a copy be
   2-13  prepared for prominent display at Schulenburg High School as an
   2-14  expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
