 1-1           WHEREAS, On March 28, 2001, Robert Hughes, the longtime head
 1-2     basketball coach at Dunbar High School in Fort Worth, skillfully
 1-3     led the West team to victory in the McDonald's All-American High
 1-4     School Basketball Game; and
 1-5           WHEREAS, Coach Hughes, whose record includes 1,213 victories,
 1-6     the second highest total among high school coaches in the United
 1-7     States, received a great honor when he was chosen to guide the West
 1-8     squad at the McDonald's game; this noteworthy 24-year-old event
 1-9     recognizes the nation's top high school basketball players and
1-10     affords them the opportunity to compete head-to-head; and
1-11           WHEREAS, Held at Cameron Indoor Stadium on the campus of Duke
1-12     University, this exciting contest saw the West squad fall behind by
1-13     15 points at intermission, but after being properly motivated at
1-14     intermission by Coach Hughes, the team stormed back in the second
1-15     half, led largely by game MVP Eddy Curry, to claim an impressive
1-16     131-125 victory; and
1-17           WHEREAS, Robert Hughes is truly a coaching legend in Fort
1-18     Worth, in the Lone Star State, and across the nation, and it was
1-19     indeed fitting that he be chosen to coach the West team at the
1-20     McDonald's All-American High School Basketball Game; now,
1-21     therefore, be it
1-22           RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 77th Texas
1-23     Legislature hereby congratulate Robert Hughes on his recent
1-24     coaching success at the McDonald's All-American High School
 2-1     Basketball Game and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued
 2-2     success; and, be it further
 2-3           RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
 2-4     prepared for Coach Hughes as an expression of high regard by the
 2-5     Texas House of Representatives.

               I certify that H.R. No. 694 was adopted by the House on May
         11, 2001, by a non-record vote.
