H.R. No. 383

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The Allen High School football team reached the
	pinnacle of success by winning the University Interscholastic
	League 5A Division 1 state championship on December 22, 2012, at
	Cowboys Stadium in Arlington; and
	WHEREAS, Matching up against Houston Lamar High School in the
	title game, the Eagles found themselves in a hard-fought battle in
	which their opponent came from behind to tie the score at 21 late in
	the third quarter; a decisive shift in momentum took place on the
	ensuing kickoff, however, when Allen's Oliver Pierce returned the
	ball 80 yards to set up a touchdown; the Eagles then put the game
	away by adding another TD in the fourth quarter to claim a 35-21
	victory; among the many Eagles who had standout performances were
	offensive most valuable player Kyler Murray and defensive MVP
	Cameron Hartsfield; and
	WHEREAS, The state final triumph concluded a memorable season
	in which the team compiled an overall record of 15 wins and 1 loss,
	beating such formidable challengers as previous state champion
	Southlake Carroll; and
	WHEREAS, Throughout the year, the Eagles benefited from
	exceptional teamwork, with each player contributing to the
	championship quest; the able leadership of head coach Tom
	Westerberg and his staff was also essential to the players'
	accomplishments, as was the overwhelming support of the Allen
	community; and
	WHEREAS, The 2012 championship represents the team's second
	title in five years, and the Eagles are one of just nine schools
	that have won multiple championship trophies in 5A competition; and
	WHEREAS, Demonstrating outstanding skill and an enduring
	commitment to excellence, the hardworking young athletes of the
	Allen High football team have furthered their school's tradition of
	achievement on the gridiron, and they may reflect with pride on a
	job well done; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
	Legislature hereby congratulate the Allen High School football team
	on winning the UIL 5A Division 1 state championship and extend to
	the team's players, coaches, and staff sincere best wishes for the
	future; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the team as an expression of high regard by the Texas
	House of Representatives.
