|
|
WHEREAS, The East Bernard High School football team won the |
|
2012 University Interscholastic League 2A Division 2 state |
|
championship with a victory in the title game held on December 20, |
|
2012, at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington; and |
|
WHEREAS, Matching up against Mildred High School of |
|
Corsicana, the Brahmas excelled with an outstanding team effort; |
|
three players rushed for more than 100 yards, and four players |
|
scored touchdowns as East Bernard put points on the board in eight |
|
of its first nine drives; meanwhile, the defense tallied six sacks |
|
and shut down the Mildred offense for most of the game en route to a |
|
commanding 56-14 win; and |
|
WHEREAS, The triumph in the state final capped a remarkable |
|
season in which the Brahmas went undefeated for the first time in |
|
school history; along the way, they posted numerous shutouts and |
|
toppled highly regarded foes such as defending state champion |
|
Refugio, their opponent in the playoff quarterfinals; and |
|
WHEREAS, Ably guided by head coach Jerry Long and his staff, |
|
the Brahmas also benefited from the strong support of their |
|
classmates and the entire East Bernard community; in attaining |
|
their season-long goal of winning the state crown, these determined |
|
young athletes have become a source of great pride to their fans, |
|
and their exceptional performance on the gridiron in 2012 will long |
|
be remembered and celebrated; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the East Bernard High School |
|
football team on winning the UIL 2A Division 2 state championship |
|
and extend sincere best wishes to the team's players, coaches, and |
|
staff 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. |
