WHEREAS, Bringing the 2018 season to a dramatic and |
|
|
triumphant conclusion, the Galena Park North Shore Senior High |
|
|
School football team captured the 2018 University Interscholastic |
|
|
League 6A Division 1 state championship at AT&T Stadium in |
|
|
Arlington on December 22; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Under the guidance of head coach Jon Kay, the |
|
|
Mustangs cruised through the regular season with an unblemished |
|
|
record on the strength of a high-powered offense and stifling |
|
|
defense; their inspired play continued into the postseason as they |
|
|
defeated Pasadena Dobie, Dickinson, Katy, Cy-Fair, and Austin Lake |
|
|
Travis High Schools, with North Shore winning each game by |
|
|
double-digit margins; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In the state title contest, the Mustangs took the |
|
|
field against Duncanville High School in a clash of unbeaten |
|
|
squads; the back-and-forth battle featured multiple lead changes |
|
|
throughout and ultimately culminated in a remarkable final play; |
|
|
North Shore trailed by a single point with just three seconds left |
|
|
on the clock when quarterback Dematrius Davis launched a Hail Mary |
|
|
pass 45 yards into the Duncanville end zone that was miraculously |
|
|
grabbed by receiver AJ Carter to earn the Mustangs the state crown; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The members of the North Shore Senior High football |
|
|
team demonstrated admirable skill and determination in winning the |
|
|
state championship and compiling a flawless record against top |
|
|
competition, and memories of this exemplary accomplishment will |
|
|
resonate with their fellow students and their many supporters in |
|
|
the local community for many years to come; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Galena Park North Shore Senior |
|
|
High School football team on winning the 2018 UIL 6A 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. |
