H.R. No. 160

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The Cuero High School football team reached the
	pinnacle of success by winning the University Interscholastic
	League 4A Division 2 state championship on December 21, 2018; and
	WHEREAS, Under the direction of head coach Travis Reeve, the
	Cuero Gobblers marched through the postseason with triumphs over
	Pearsall, Rio Hondo, West Oso, Navarro, and Silsbee High Schools,
	setting the stage for a showdown with Pleasant Grove High of
	Texarkana in the title game; and
	WHEREAS, Taking the field before more than 12,700 fans at
	AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Cuero trailed by as much as 14 points in
	the first half but rallied to draw within a point of Pleasant Grove
	at intermission; both teams were held scoreless in the third
	quarter, but Cuero launched a devastating ground assault in the
	final frame, tallying three touchdowns to win by a score of 40-28;
	with the victory, Cuero clinched its fourth state title in school
	history, and its first since 1987; and
	WHEREAS, Senior Jordan Whittington was named both the
	offensive and the defensive player of the game after scoring 6
	touchdowns, making 11 tackles, and rolling up 334 rushing yards to
	set a new state finals record; valuable contributions were also
	made throughout the season by the other members of the roster as the
	Gobblers relentlessly pursued their goal of becoming state
	champions; and
	WHEREAS, In winning the 4A Division 2 title, the Cuero High
	football team has become a source of great pride to its school and
	community, and the players will forever treasure their memories of
	this notable achievement; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
	Legislature hereby congratulate the Cuero High School football team
	on winning the 2018 UIL 4A Division 2 state 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.
