H.R. No. 89 



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The Katy High School Tigers football team staged a 
dramatic come-from-behind 16-15 victory over the Southlake Carroll 
Dragons at the Alamodome to win the 2003 UIL Class 5A Division II 
state championship; and
	WHEREAS, Although the Tigers lost their season opener in 
Lufkin, these determined athletes showed themselves to be true 
champions by barreling undefeated through the next 15 games, 
claiming district, area, and regional championships along the way 
to the state crown; and
	WHEREAS, Head coach Mike Johnston, who was ably supported by 
an outstanding staff of assistant coaches and athletic personnel, 
picked up his 200th career victory when the Katy Tigers rallied from 
a 15-9 deficit in the final three minutes of the game, driving more 
than 70 yards to score a touchdown and claim the state championship; 
and
	WHEREAS, The Tigers have established an enviable tradition of 
gridiron excellence by winning their third state championship in 
the past seven years, and the achievement of this remarkable feat 
required all of the team's talented athletes to perform to the best 
of their abilities; this triumph is an apt reflection of their 
dedication and competitive spirit and is a most fitting reward for 
their many hours of hard work and training; and
	WHEREAS, The young champions of the Katy High School football 
team have indeed distinguished themselves as formidable 
competitors, and they are a source of tremendous pride to the 
students, staff, and faculty of their school and to their many 
supporters in the community; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature, 4th Called Session, hereby congratulate the Katy High 
School Tigers football team on winning the 2003 UIL Class 5A 
Division II state championship and extend to the team's players and 
coaches sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it 
further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the team as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.
