WHEREAS, The Katy High School football team capped an |
|
|
undefeated 2012 season by winning the University Interscholastic |
|
|
League 5A Division 2 state championship on December 22 at Cowboys |
|
|
Stadium in Arlington; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, With the victory, the Tigers continued their |
|
|
tradition of gridiron superiority; the 2012 title is the seventh in |
|
|
the program's history and the sixth since 1997, and it marked the |
|
|
third time that head coach Gary Joseph had the pleasure of hoisting |
|
|
the trophy; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Katy demonstrated exceptional determination in the |
|
|
championship game; trailing Cedar Hill by three points and facing a |
|
|
dramatic fourth-down situation with just under seven minutes to |
|
|
play, the Tigers made the gutsy decision to go for the first down; |
|
|
Adam Taylor broke free on the play and scored a 56-yard touchdown to |
|
|
put Katy ahead; following a crucial interception by Quinn Atwood, |
|
|
Mr. Taylor dashed into the end zone again from 42 yards out to |
|
|
secure the 35-24 triumph; the senior running back was named the |
|
|
offensive most valuable player after racking up 277 yards and five |
|
|
touchdowns, and lineman Matt Dimon was named the defensive MVP; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, All season long, the Tigers prevailed through a true |
|
|
team effort, with important contributions made by each member of |
|
|
the roster; the perseverance of these outstanding young athletes |
|
|
enabled Katy to overcome injuries to key starters and still achieve |
|
|
a perfect 16-0 record; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, An inspiring team with great talent and tremendous |
|
|
heart, the 2012 Katy Tigers have furthered their school's proud |
|
|
athletic heritage, and their accomplishment will be a fond memory |
|
|
for the players and their supporters for many years to come; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Katy High School football team |
|
|
on winning the UIL 5A Division 2 state championship and extend to |
|
|
the team's players, coaches, and staff sincere best wishes for |
|
|
continued success; 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. |
