WHEREAS, John Jordan, a senior on the Texas A&M |
|
|
University--Corpus Christi men's basketball team, set a new |
|
|
standard of excellence on the hardwood on March 7, 2015; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In a late-season matchup against Abilene Christian |
|
|
University, Mr. Jordan compiled 11 points and 6 rebounds in a 58-27 |
|
|
victory for the Islanders; in the process, he surpassed 1,500 |
|
|
points, 500 rebounds, and 500 assists for his collegiate career, |
|
|
becoming the only active Division I basketball player in the |
|
|
country to have reached that milestone; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Jordan's notable accomplishment was made all |
|
|
the more special by the fact that he was able to complete the feat on |
|
|
Senior Day in front of a raucous home crowd at the American Bank |
|
|
Center; a four-year starter for the Islanders, he previously earned |
|
|
All-Southland Conference honors and the university's Male Athlete |
|
|
of the Year award during his impressive junior season; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This remarkable student-athlete's skills on the |
|
|
basketball court are an inspiration to his team, his fellow |
|
|
students, and the Corpus Christi community, and it is indeed |
|
|
fitting that he be recognized for his significant achievement; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate John Jordan on compiling more than |
|
|
1,500 points, 500 rebounds, and 500 assists during his collegiate |
|
|
career 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 Mr. Jordan as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
