WHEREAS, Demonstrating great skill and dedication, the |
|
|
six-man football team from Brenham Christian Academy captured the |
|
|
2010 Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools Division II |
|
|
state championship on December 4, 2010; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Eagles won the title with a 52-12 victory over |
|
|
Tyler Street Christian Academy of Dallas, completing a perfect 14-0 |
|
|
season and taking home the first state championship in the school's |
|
|
history; over the course of the 2010 campaign, the team outscored |
|
|
its opponents 841 to 187 and registered five shutouts, an |
|
|
impressive feat in the high-scoring environment of six-man |
|
|
football; after winning just one game in 10 tries in the 2007 |
|
|
season, the Eagles have posted a 38-2 record, a remarkable |
|
|
turnaround for the program; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In their march to the state title, the Eagles |
|
|
received valuable contributions from each member of the roster: |
|
|
seniors Drew Anderson, James Anderson, Reagan Cameron, Dylan Cole, |
|
|
Roy Dawson, Azamat Pate, Ian Roskow, and Michael Wolfskill; juniors |
|
|
Kyle Armstrong, Austin Dettling, Royce Gross, Alex Pryor, and |
|
|
Stephen Ridgway; sophomore Kris Rigsby; and freshmen Bryce |
|
|
Armstrong, Collin Kolkhorst, Kyle Kolkhorst, Talgat Pate, David |
|
|
Rigsby, Joey Steele, and Nate Taylor; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, These talented athletes received essential guidance |
|
|
from head coach Matt Tarbutton, who has taken Brenham Christian |
|
|
Academy to the state finals in each of the two seasons he has led the |
|
|
team, with the 2009 squad falling just one victory short of the |
|
|
title; the Eagles also benefited from the knowledgeable advice of |
|
|
assistant coaches Jesse Hayre, Peter Morissette, Les Armstrong, and |
|
|
Denny Varghese; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Winning a state championship represents the |
|
|
culmination of countless hours of hard work and an unwavering |
|
|
commitment to excellence, and the members of the Brenham Christian |
|
|
Academy Eagles football team will treasure the memory of this |
|
|
accomplishment for many years to come; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Brenham Christian Academy |
|
|
football team on winning the 2010 TAPPS Six-man Division II state |

|
|
sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further |
|
