|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize Coach Leta Andrews of Granbury High School on the |

|
|
victorious coach in American high school basketball history; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Coach Andrews began her remarkable career in 1962 |
|
|
at Tolar High School; driven by the will to succeed, she studied |
|
|
under legendary University of Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp, who |

|
amassed 34 consecutive seasons with 20 or more wins and has taken |
|
|
14 teams to the state tournament, and in 1990, she guided Corpus |
|
|
Christi Calallen High School to the state championship title; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Coach Andrews returned to Granbury High School in |
|
|
1992 and in 2005 became the winningest high school girls' |
|
|
basketball coach in history; surpassing the record for boys' |
|
|
basketball and becoming the most victorious coach in history is a |
|
|
testament to her superior skills and her determination; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Coach Andrews has instilled in many generations |
|
|
of players the importance of teamwork and a strong work ethic; |
|
|
her enduring emphasis on building character in all aspects of |
|
|
life has served as an inspiration to her students and her |
|
|
colleagues for nearly 50 years; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Coach Andrews has had a profound influence on |
|
|
countless young people, preparing them for success both on and |
|
|
off the court, and she is truly deserving of recognition for her |
|
|
dedication and commitment as she passes this historic milestone; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend Coach Leta Andrews on her |
|
|
exceptional career and extend to her congratulations on becoming |
