WHEREAS, The life of an admired coach drew to a close with the |
|
|
passing of Que Brittain of Argyle on March 29, 2015, at the age of |
|
|
68; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Born on November 27, 1946, Que Brittain lettered in |
|
|
football at Sulphur Springs High School and subsequently played as |
|
|
an offensive guard at Southern Methodist University for three years |
|
|
in the late 1960s; he went on to pursue a career in coaching, |
|
|
gaining experience at McKinney and Euless Trinity High Schools |
|
|
before becoming the offensive line coach at Lewisville High School |
|
|
in 1978; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Brittain was named head coach at Marcus High |
|
|
School in Flower Mound in 1986; over the course of his 14-year |
|
|
tenure in that position, he compiled an impressive record of 108 |
|
|
wins and 62 losses and guided the Marauders to eight postseason |
|
|
berths; he first took his team to the state final in 1995, when |
|
|
Marcus finished as runner-up; two years later, his players claimed |
|
|
the school's first and only football state championship to date, |
|
|
and the Marauders' 59-20 victory against Alief Hastings High School |
|
|
set the record for the most points scored in a 5A title game; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Following his retirement from the Lewisville |
|
|
Independent School District in 2000, Mr. Brittain was tapped as |
|
|
head coach at Skyline High School in 2002, and he led the team to the |
|
|
playoffs in each of his three seasons at the helm; he was later |
|
|
hired as an assistant coach at Dumas High School by his former |
|
|
colleague Mike Burt, and the two men went on to coach at Joshua High |
|
|
School during the 2013 and 2014 seasons; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Que Brittain served as a mentor, motivator, and role |
|
|
model to countless young athletes in North Texas, and his legacy |
|
|
will forever remain a source of inspiration for those who had the |
|
|
good fortune to know him; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Que Brittain and |
|
|
extend sincere condolences to the members of his family and to his |
|
|
many friends; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of |
|
|
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of Que |
|
|
Brittain. |
