WHEREAS, Tuloso-Midway High School head boys' basketball |
|
|
coach Bobby Craig reached a significant career milestone when he |
|
|
recorded his 700th victory on January 20, 2015; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The memorable win came in a matchup against |
|
|
Tuloso-Midway's district rival Alice High School; the Warriors |
|
|
overwhelmed their opponent with a pressure defense and took a |
|
|
15-point lead into halftime; the team continued its fine play in the |
|
|
second half, closing out the game with a 19-4 run in the fourth |
|
|
quarter to clinch an impressive 61-27 victory; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Coach Craig started his career at Lockhart High |
|
|
School, and he later coached at El Campo High before taking over as |
|
|
head coach at Tuloso-Midway; over the course of his 33 seasons |
|
|
leading the Warriors, he has distinguished himself as a talented |
|
|
coach and respected mentor whose guidance has helped his players |
|
|
reach their full potential; he was recognized for his many |
|
|
contributions to the school's basketball program in 2012, when the |
|
|
Tuloso-Midway gymnasium was named in his honor; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Bobby Craig has made a positive difference in the |
|
|
lives of hundreds of young people over the course of nearly four |
|
|
decades coaching basketball, and he is truly deserving of special |
|
|
recognition for the outstanding achievement of winning 700 games; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Bobby Craig on his 700th career |
|
|
victory and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued |
|
|
success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Coach Craig as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
