WHEREAS, The Bremond High School football team capped a |
|
|
memorable season by winning the 2014 University Interscholastic |
|
|
League 2A Division 2 state championship on December 18 at AT&T |
|
|
Stadium in Arlington; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Tigers won the title with a 28-21 victory over |
|
|
Albany High School, completing a perfect season in which they |
|
|
compiled a record of 15 wins and zero losses; over the course of the |
|
|
2014 campaign, Bremond High routinely dominated its opponents with |
|
|
a potent offense that averaged more than 45 points per game and a |
|
|
stout defense that posted three shutouts; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This exceptional team began its march through the |
|
|
playoffs with a dominating victory over Rocksprings to secure the |
|
|
area championship; the Tigers followed with impressive wins over |
|
|
Louise and Bruni High Schools in the ensuing rounds before |
|
|
recording a 32-29 triumph against Tenaha in the semifinals to earn a |
|
|
trip to the state championship game; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The 2A Division 2 final proved to be a significant |
|
|
test for the Tigers, as the team from Albany High built a |
|
|
two-touchdown advantage after three quarters of play; Bremond |
|
|
responded with three unanswered scores in the final frame, however, |
|
|
and quarterback Roshauud Paul's 23-yard scoring run put the team on |
|
|
top with 1:17 left in the contest; the defense then stood firm once |
|
|
more, holding the opposing offense in check and clinching the |
|
|
second state championship in school history; Mr. Paul was named the |
|
|
game's offensive Most Valuable Player, and Joe Williams was |
|
|
selected as defensive MVP; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Bremond's success was the result of a true team |
|
|
effort, with each member of the roster providing valuable |
|
|
contributions throughout the course of the season; moreover, the |
|
|
Tigers drew on the expertise and inspirational leadership of head |
|
|
coach Jeff Kasowski and his staff; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The members of the Bremond High football team |
|
|
demonstrated admirable skill and determination in winning the state |
|
|
championship and attaining a flawless record against top |
|
|
competition, and they will forever treasure the memory of this |
|
|
outstanding achievement; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Bremond High School football |
|
|
team on winning the UIL 2A Division 2 state championship and extend |
|
|
to the team's players, coaches, and staff sincere best wishes for |
|
|
the future; 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. |
