WHEREAS, the Anacoco High School Indians boys' basketball team completed a
sensational 2015-2016 season when they earned their second straight Class B state title after

and
WHEREAS, the Indians finished the 2015-2016 season with twenty-nine wins,
eleven losses, and a 7-1 district record; and

second quarter, which broke the Class B record for fewest points allowed in Top 28
tournament history; and
WHEREAS, the members of the team performed at the highest levels of excellence
throughout the season, and each athlete deserves recognition for his vital contributions to the
winning effort; and
WHEREAS, senior Will Reese led the Indians with twenty-five points, eight assists,
six rebounds, two steals, one blocked shot, and was named Most Outstanding Player in the
Class B final game; and seniors Drew Hillman, Race Johnson, and Caleb Reese; juniors
Brent Cosio, Trace Goins, and Hunter McCrary; sophomore Julian Cecil; and freshmen
Jordan Martin, Colby Wedgeworth, and Tyler Williams all played a part in the success of
the team this season; and
WHEREAS, the championship feat was achieved in the face of an intense period of
heavy rains and severe flooding in many parts of the state that impacted the homes of some
of the players and others in their Anacoco community, and tremendous focus in spite of
personal challenges was evident in the collective effort of the team on game day; and
