SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 111

	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to 
recognize the members of the Marshall High School Mavericks 
football team, whose hard-fought 2004 season culminated in their 
appearance in the University Interscholastic League Class 4A 
Division I state championship game; and

	WHEREAS, The Mavericks eliminated Houston Yates in the 
quarterfinal game to become Region III champions; advancing to 
the state tournament, the Marshall Mavericks faced Boerne, the 
Region IV champions, in the semifinal game; and

	WHEREAS, The Mavericks' strong victory in the semifinals
by a score of 21-3 qualified the team for a spot in the state 
championship game, an impressive achievement that will long be 
remembered in the town of Marshall; although that game ended in a 
close 23-21 loss to Ennis, the Mavericks can take pride in their 
accomplishments and in having advanced through the playoffs to 
the state championship finals; and

	WHEREAS, With the support of the entire community and the 
guidance of coach Rodney Southern and his staff, the Mavericks 
have played well throughout the season; their hard work, 
discipline, and commitment to the ideals of sportsmanship have 
brought honor to their school and their community; now, 
therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
79th Legislature, hereby congratulate the Marshall High School 
Mavericks on advancing to the Class 4A Division I state 
championship game and on their exemplary performance as a team 
this season; and, be it further

	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for 
the team as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
                                                                          Eltife




________________________________
