BY SENATORS GARY SMITH AND BROWN AND REPRESENTATIVES MILLER
AND WILLMOTT
A CONCURRENT RESOLUTI ON
To commend and congratulate Lou Valdin on being awarded All-District Coach of the Year.
WHEREAS, it is with great pride that the citizens of Louisiana have learned of the
All District Coach of the Year honor bestowed upon Lou Valdin; and
WHEREAS, this award is the seventh for Coach Lou Valdin, most recently including
last year and in 2009; and
WHEREAS, although the Hahnville Tigers began the season with a 0-4 record
making it the single worst start in Valdin's coaching career; he and his coaching staff led this
Cinderella team to a turn-around season winning six straight games and a district
championship before being eliminated in the second round of the playoffs; and
WHEREAS, while he has won the award seven times, he is not much on post season
accolades and modestly shrugs off his honors saying that the award is more of a reflection
of the coaching staff as a whole rather than of him as an individual; and
WHEREAS, he always says it is not about him but about the kids, that his role is to
provide a good organization for Hahnville High School students, and anytime he gets good
publicity for Hahnville football it is a good thing; and
WHEREAS, the success of the state of Louisiana, the strength of our communities,
and the overall vitality of American society, depends, in great measure, upon extraordinary,
great and modest legends like Lou Valdin, who not only coach but mold our young boys into
strong, determined, and proud young men. SCR NO. 31 ENROLLED
