Commends Pete Boudreaux upon his induction into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame
Coach Boudreaux has led his teams to an impressive tally of thirty-nine state championship titles between outdoor track, indoor track, and cross country, alongside numerous runner-up finishes.

For instance, his 2010 track team recorded the highest score ever by a 5A track and field team, illustrating the level of excellence he has consistently demanded and achieved throughout his coaching career.
House Resolution No. 184 commends Coach Pete Boudreaux for his remarkable accomplishments as a track and cross country coach at Catholic High School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Having graduated from Catholic High School in 1959 and serving as the head track coach since 1968, he has left an indelible mark on the school's athletic program.

Such resolutions not only honor individuals like Coach Boudreaux but also inspire current and future athletes and coaches alike.
While the resolution serves to honor Coach Boudreaux, it also shines a light on the significant role that local figures play in the sports landscape of Louisiana. By acknowledging his induction into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame, the bill emphasizes the value of local coaching legends, although it does not present any contention or opposition, typical of acknowledgment resolutions. The focus remains solely on celebrating Coach Boudreaux’s successes and contributions to the sports culture at Catholic High School.
