                                                                H.C.R. No. 128



HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
	WHEREAS, The Fort Worth Dunbar High School boys' basketball 
team has attained the pinnacle of success by winning the 2003 UIL 
Class 4A state championship, the school's second state title in its 
storied history of hardwood excellence; and
	WHEREAS, Facing undefeated Beaumont Ozen High School in the 
title game, this determined Dunbar team rallied from an eight-point 
deficit in the second half to claim a thrilling 66-54 victory, 
avenging last year's state tournament semifinal loss to Ozen and 
completing the Wildcats' storybook 2002-2003 campaign with a record 
of 37-1; and
	WHEREAS, Although each player made significant contributions 
to the team's overall success, several Wildcats also garnered 
well-deserved individual distinction; chosen for the 
all-tournament team were Lance Jackson, Dominique Williams, and 
Jeremis Smith, who was also named the tournament's most valuable 
player; and
	WHEREAS, Dunbar's legendary head coach Robert Hughes, who 
recently became America's winningest high school basketball coach 
and was elected into the National High School Sports Hall of Fame, 
worked tirelessly to help his players achieve their championship 
dream, and he was ably supported in his efforts by assistant coaches 
Rambo Leondas, Charles Hickman, and Wendell Ivory; and
	WHEREAS, These exceptional student-athletes, with their 
coaches and staff, are a source of great pride to students and 
faculty at Dunbar High School, as well as their many supporters in 
the community, and it is truly appropriate that the team's 
accomplishments receive special legislative recognition at this 
time; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the 78th Legislature of the State of Texas 
hereby congratulate the members of the Fort Worth Dunbar High 
School boys' basketball team on winning the 2003 UIL Class 4A state 
title and extend to them sincere best wishes for continued success; 
and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for prominent display at Fort Worth Dunbar High School as 
an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives 
and Senate.
