WHEREAS, The Cisco High School football team capped an |
|
undefeated season by winning the 2013 University Interscholastic |
|
League 2A Division 2 state championship on December 19, 2013, at |
|
AT&T Stadium in Arlington; and |
|
WHEREAS, With this outstanding victory, the Loboes claimed |
|
their first state championship and completed a memorable season in |
|
which they compiled a perfect 16-0 record; Cisco combined an |
|
explosive offensive attack with a punishing defense to triumph in |
|
each of its regular season games and win the District 4-2A crown; |
|
the team continued its fine play in the postseason, dominating its |
|
first four opponents and clinching a berth in the 2A Division 2 |
|
finale with a comfortable 55-6 victory over Leonard High School in |
|
the semifinals; and |
|
WHEREAS, The Loboes faced off against a familiar foe in the |
|
state championship game, taking on the same Refugio High School |
|
squad that defeated Cisco in the 2011 title matchup; determined to |
|
not let history repeat itself, Cisco jumped out to a lead in the |
|
first quarter and headed into halftime ahead by one touchdown; the |
|
Loboes then tallied 28 points in a decisive third quarter, with |
|
quarterback Colton Kent taking part in three of the touchdowns, two |
|
resulting from long pass plays and one coming on a 63-yard run; when |
|
the final seconds ticked off the clock in the fourth quarter, the |
|
Loboes claimed a 56-36 victory and the state championship; Mr. Kent |
|
was named the game's Offensive Most Valuable Player for his |
|
efforts, and teammate Mason Reed earned the Defensive MVP honor for |
|
his performance on the other side of the ball; and |
|
WHEREAS, Ably led by head coach Brent West, the Loboes |
|
received essential contributions throughout the year from each |
|
member of the roster as they reached the pinnacle of success on the |
|
gridiron; and |
|
WHEREAS, Winning a state championship is the culmination of |
|
countless hours of hard work and an unwavering commitment to |
|
excellence, and these talented student-athletes and their |
|
supporters will treasure the memory of this outstanding |
|
accomplishment for many years to come; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Cisco High School football team |
|
on winning the 2013 UIL 2A 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. |
