the state tournament; and

2-1 score, claiming the coveted crown and completing their campaign 
with a record of 21-6-2; and
	WHEREAS, Head coach Steve Simmons inspired his young charges 
to perform to the best of their ability and also painstakingly 
prepared them for the rigors of playoff competition, enabling them 
to achieve their championship dream; and

coaches and staff, are a source of tremendous pride to all those 
associated with Klein Oak High School, and the team may indeed look

accomplishment for a job well done; now, therefore, be it
