 1-2     an outstanding season and its myriad achievements are deserving of
 1-3     special legislative recognition; and
 1-4           WHEREAS, Head coach Randy Franklin, who is also the school's
 1-5     athletic director, guided his team to the District 25-2A
 1-6     championship this season and was named the District Coach of the
 1-7     Year; moreover, Jarrell, which was reclassified from a Class 1A
 1-8     school to a Class 2A school in 2000, surprised many people by
 1-9     amassing an 11-2 overall record; and
1-10           WHEREAS, In the University Interscholastic League Class 2A
1-11     Division II state playoffs, the Cougars defeated Johnson City High
1-12     School in the bi-district round and captured the area title by
1-13     clawing their way to a 16-12 victory against Wallis Brazos High
1-14     School; Jarrell put up a determined effort but fell short against
1-15     Refugio High School in its regional game; and
1-16           WHEREAS, Jarrell's Jontue Fears-Hayes was chosen to the Class
1-17     2A All-State honorable mention offensive and defensive football
1-18     teams; joining him as an honorable mention All-State selection were
1-19     teammates Matt Hausenfluke, Justin Bryson, and Brandon Hayes; and
1-20           WHEREAS, The superb season would not have been possible
1-21     without the significant contributions of all of the team members;
1-22     with hard work, training, and determination, these exemplary young
1-23     men have proven themselves to be formidable competitors, and as
1-24     they take justifiable pride and satisfaction in their tremendous
 2-1     season, it is indeed appropriate to honor them at this time; now,
 2-2     therefore, be it
 2-3           RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 77th Texas
 2-4     Legislature hereby congratulate the 2000 Jarrell High School
 2-5     football team on its sterling accomplishments and extend to the
