 1-1           WHEREAS, The Sweetwater High School boys golf team recently
 1-2     won the 2001 UIL Class 3A state championship, a victory that earned
 1-3     the Mustangs their first state crown since 1973; and
 1-4           WHEREAS, Skillfully led by Coach Eddie Asbill, the Sweetwater
 1-5     Mustangs shot a two-day total of 619 to best Longview Spring Hill
 1-6     High School by five strokes at the state tournament held at Jimmy
 1-7     Clay Golf Course in Austin on May 10-11, 2001; the triumph was the
 1-8     seventh win in a row for the Mustangs and the eighth victory in
 1-9     their last nine tournaments; and
1-10           WHEREAS, Shane Mercer and Sean Howard, the team's only
1-11     seniors, led the way for the Mustangs at the state finals, shooting
1-12     151 and 154, respectively; also contributing to this outstanding
1-13     win were Eliathan Lara, Robert Henson, and Bryan Howard, who was
1-14     the low medalist in Sweetwater's penultimate win at the Region 1-3A
1-15     tournament, where the team fired a record low 582; and
1-16           WHEREAS, This stellar team accomplishment is an apt
1-17     reflection of the dedication and hard work of all the members of

1-19     pay tribute to them at this time; now, therefore, be it
