WHEREAS, The Muenster High School football team reached the |
|
|
pinnacle of success by capturing the 2017 University |
|
|
Interscholastic League 2A Division 2 state championship on December |
|
|
21 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, En route to a perfect 16-0 record, the Hornets |
|
|
bested all of their league opponents to claim the District 8-2A |
|
|
crown; they went on to excel in postseason battles against |
|
|
Petrolia, Iraan, Munday, and Albany High Schools before punching |
|
|
their ticket to the state championship game with a 31-28 victory |
|
|
over Wellington High School in the semifinals; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Matching up against the previously unbeaten squad |
|
|
from Tenaha High School in the finale, Muenster got off to a strong |
|
|
start, but Tenaha closed the gap and took the lead early in the |
|
|
second half; with the trophy on the line, the Hornets turned the |
|
|
tide with an explosive third quarter in which they scored a total of |
|
|
17 points to clinch the school's first state title with a 27-20 win; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Muenster's success was the result of a true team |
|
|
effort, with each member of the roster providing valuable |
|
|
contributions over the course of the season; these determined |
|
|
athletes drew on the expertise and inspirational leadership of head |
|
|
coach Brady Carney and assistant coaches Jeff Presnall, Jeff |
|
|
Smiley, Mark Stevens, and Josh Wheeler; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The members of the Muenster Hornets football team |
|
|
demonstrated admirable skill and dedication in winning the state |
|
|
championship and attaining a flawless record against top |
|
|
competition, and they will forever treasure the memory of this |
|
|
outstanding achievement; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Muenster High School football |
|
|
team on winning the 2017 UIL 2A Division 2 state championship and |

RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
