SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 1072
         WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
  recognize Hudson Bradley and Ben Martinson for their
  inspirational display of sportsmanship; and
         WHEREAS, Hudson Bradley and Ben Martinson are members of
  the basketball team at Vanguard College Preparatory School in
  Waco, and their team was scheduled to play a game against the
  Gainesville Tornadoes, a team comprised of detainees at the
  state's juvenile correction facility for felony offenders; and
         WHEREAS, Hudson and Ben realized that the Tornadoes would
  have no rooting section at their upcoming game, and recognizing
  the inherent unfairness of the situation, they decided to create
  a fan section for the Tornadoes; despite the fact that their own
  team would lose its clear advantage in this situation, they
  persuaded their fellow students to put together a group of fans
  to cheer for the Tornadoes; and
         WHEREAS, The students at Vanguard College Preparatory
  School designated half of the game's crowd as a cheering section
  for the Tornadoes, complete with signs and cheerleaders; the
  Tornadoes, unaware before the game of the efforts that had been
  made on their behalf, were surprised to find they had their own
  fans and were inspired as more and more of the crowd increasingly
  rooted for their success; and
         WHEREAS, The actions of Hudson Bradley and Ben Martinson
  embody the true spirit of sportsmanship and demonstrate the
  potential of athletics to bring people together; it is truly
  fitting that they receive special recognition; now, therefore,
  be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th
  Legislature, hereby commend Hudson Bradley and Ben Martinson on
  their awareness of the needs of others and their sense of justice
  and fair play and extend to them best wishes for success in all
  their future endeavors; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
  them as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
