SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 434
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize the Alamo Heights High School football team for winning |
|
the University Interscholastic League Class 4A Division I state |
|
championship title; and |
|
WHEREAS, The Alamo Heights Mules won their first state title |
|
by defeating the Copperas Cove High School Bulldawgs 40-28 in a |

the Bulldawgs, the game remained in doubt until the Mules scored |

|
and perseverance throughout the school year, ending the season |
|
with a 14-1 record; team members Sergio Acosta, Jacob Aguirre, |
