 1-1           WHEREAS, The members of the Rule High School Bobcats six-man
 1-2     football team demonstrated their formidable athletic talents in an
 1-3     outstanding 1998 season and it is indeed fitting to pay tribute to
 1-4     them at this time; and
 1-5           WHEREAS, The guidance and skill of Head Coach Paul Page and
 1-6     his coaching staff ably led the Bobcats squad to a 10-2 record;
 1-7     they earned the distinction of bi-district winners as they defeated
 1-8     Witharral High School 26-23 and advanced to the area round of the
 1-9     playoffs; and
1-10           WHEREAS, During the 1998 campaign the mighty Bobcats offense
1-11     averaged more than 50 points per game, while their stingy defense
1-12     held opponents to an average of less than 24; these stellar
1-13     statistics on both sides of the ball are an apt reflection of the
1-14     many hours of hard work and training put forth by the entire
1-15     Bobcats squad; and
1-16           WHEREAS, Team members include Joe Sotelo, Josh Smith, Grant
1-17     Hisey, Brian Lehrmann, Justin Coker, Bobby Flores, Cody Tibbets,
1-18     Berto Sotelo, Jay Louder, Jeremy Hertel, Michael Hunt, Richie
1-19     Culpepper, Mike Casey, Rafael Huerta, and Eric Robinson; and
1-20           WHEREAS, The dedication and competitive spirit of all the
1-21     members of the Rule High School six-man football team are truly
1-22     commendable, and for their exceptional 1998 gridiron performance
1-23     they are indeed worthy of special recognition; now, therefore, be
1-24     it
 2-1           RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 76th Texas
 2-2     Legislature hereby honor the members of the Rule High School
 2-3     Bobcats six-man football team for their impressive accomplishments
 2-4     during the 1998 season and extend to them sincere best wishes for
 2-5     continued success; and, be it further
 2-6           RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
 2-7     prepared for the Rule Bobcats as an expression of high regard by
 2-8     the Texas House of Representatives.
