|
|
WHEREAS, The Idalou High School football team won the 2010 |
|
University Interscholastic League 2A Division 2 state |
|
championship with a victory over Lexington High School on |
|
December 18, 2010, at Vernon Newsom Stadium in Mansfield; and |
|
WHEREAS, The 20-3 win in the title game capped a remarkable |
|
11-game winning streak by the Wildcats that saw them sweep all |
|
six of their league games and defeat five playoff opponents; |
|
after losing three close contests in their first four games, |
|
Idalou never let another team into double figures for the rest of |
|
the season, posting five shutouts and outpointing their rivals |
|
394 to 27; and |
|
WHEREAS, The team's 12-3 record in 2010 was typical of the |
|
outstanding play Idalou has delivered under the guidance of Coach |
|
Johnny Taylor; the school has the best winning percentage in 2A |
|
football over the past decade and has made the playoffs for 12 |
|
consecutive years; and |
|
WHEREAS, Throughout their championship run, the Wildcats |
|
demonstrated teamwork, tenacity, competitiveness, and integrity; |
|
these talented and dedicated student-athletes are a source of |
|
great pride to their many supporters in the local community, and |
|
their exceptional performance on the gridiron in 2010 will long |
|
be remembered and celebrated; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd |
|
Legislature, hereby congratulate the Idalou High School football |
|
team on winning the University Interscholastic League 2A |
|
Division 2 state championship and extend sincere best wishes to |
|
the players, coaches, and staff for continued success; and, be it |
|
further |
