                                                                  H.R. No. 586



R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The 12th Capitol Cup football game was played on 
December 16, 2004, with the staff of the Texas House of 
Representatives shutting out their Texas Senate counterparts by the 
score of 9-0; and
	WHEREAS, The low-scoring defensive struggle took place on the 
football field at the Texas School for the Deaf, where nearly 100 
staff members and friends braved temperatures in the 30s to take 
part in this much-anticipated annual event; and
	WHEREAS, The house staff team has dominated the Capitol Cup 
since its inception, winning nine of the 12 contests; this year's 
team was led by Coach Troy Alexander and defensive coordinator 
Chris Hosek, who used an array of trick plays and cerebral defensive 
schemes to overwhelm the competition; and
	WHEREAS, The lone score in the contest occurred when Brigitt 
Hartin caught a shovel pass for a nine-point touchdown; on the 
defensive side of the scrimmage line, Julie Bammel and Jason Damen 
were named co-defensive MVPs; and
	WHEREAS, The house victory in the Capitol Cup was a true team 
effort, and these dedicated staff members are most deserving of 
special praise for their outstanding efforts on the gridiron and 
for their exemplary service to the citizens of the Lone Star State; 
now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate the Texas House staff team on its 
impressive win in the 12th annual Capitol Cup football game and 
extend best wishes to everyone who contributed to this hard-fought 
victory.

                                                                           Geren

                                                       Speaker of the House     

	I certify that H.R. No. 586 was adopted by the House on March 
17, 2005, by a non-record vote.
