Gateway Charter, Overton, Maud, Tenaha, and Burton High Schools; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Tigers benefited throughout the year from |
|
|
important contributions made by each member of the roster; the able |
|

leadership of head coach Jeff Kasowski and his staff was also |
|
|
essential to the players' success, as was the constant support of |
|
|
the Bremond community; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Winning a state championship is the culmination of |
|
|
countless hours of hard work and an unwavering commitment to |
|
|
excellence, and the Bremond players and their fans will treasure |
|

the memory of this tremendous accomplishment for years to come; |
