         WHEREAS, The McLean High School football team reached the
  pinnacle of success by capturing the 2018 University
  Interscholastic League 1A Six-Man Division 1 state championship on
  December 19 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington; and
         WHEREAS, During the regular season, the Tigers posted six
  shutouts and claimed the District 1 title; McLean continued its
  dominance in the playoffs, besting Petersburg, Aspermont, White
  Deer, and Garden City High Schools to advance to the state finale;
  and
         WHEREAS, McLean matched up against Milford High School in the
  championship game, and the two teams were locked in a tight battle
  for much of the contest; the Tigers erupted for 44 points in the
  last stanza, however, tacking on a final 57-yard touchdown run with
  less than a minute to play; that score brought the final tally to
  100-70, which gave McLean the distinction of being the only team to
  date to rack up a triple-digit total in a six-man state title
  contest; when the last seconds ticked off the clock, the Tigers
  collected the first state crown in school history and celebrated an
  unblemished season record of 15 wins and no losses; and
         WHEREAS, Leading the McLean attack was Ben Crockett, who was
  named Offensive Most Valuable Player after setting a championship
  game record by running for nine touchdowns and throwing for three
  more; on the other side of the ball, Defensive MVP Chism Henderson
  contributed eight tackles and two sacks; ably guided by head coach
  Clinton Linman and his assistants, the Tigers received valuable
  contributions from each member of the roster over the course of the
  2018 campaign; and
         WHEREAS, Winning a state championship represents the
  culmination of countless hours of hard work and an unwavering
  commitment to excellence, and these talented student-athletes will
  treasure the memory of this accomplishment for the rest of their
  lives; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
  Legislature hereby congratulate the McLean High School football
  team on winning the 2018 UIL 1A Six-Man Division 1 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.
