H.R. No. 1873

R E S O L U T I O N

WHEREAS, The McGregor High School freshman football team captured the district championship with a victory over the squad from Glen Rose High School at Bulldog Stadium on November 6, 2014; and

WHEREAS, In an exciting contest, the Bulldogs rallied from an early deficit to tie the score at 8-8 going into the half; in the third quarter, the McGregor defense forced a safety to take the lead, and in the fourth, a six-yard touchdown run by Tayvon Thompson followed by a two-point conversion put the Bulldogs firmly in control; the team then held off a late Glen Rose surge to win by a score of 18-16; and

WHEREAS, Under the guidance of head coach Chris Kuhl, McGregor finished the season with a record of eight wins to just two defeats, receiving valuable contributions from each member of the roster along the way; and

WHEREAS, The hard work and determination of these talented student-athletes have been justly rewarded with a district crown, and they may indeed reflect with pride on their notable accomplishment; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas Legislature hereby congratulate the McGregor High School freshman football team on winning the 2014 district 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.
