|
|
WHEREAS, The memorable victory came in the opening round of |
|
|
the Glen Rose Lions Club Tournament against the squad from West High |

|

to secure a 56-39 win, setting off a jubilant celebration among the |
|
|
Glen Rose players in honor of their coach; and |

|
in 2001; in earning his 700th win, he has furthered his reputation |

|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
