| 5 | 5 | | WHEREAS, The Longhorn football team at George West High |
|---|
| 6 | 6 | | School established a perfect record of nine wins and zero losses |
|---|
| 7 | 7 | | during the 2008 regular season and claimed the 31-2A district |
|---|
| 8 | 8 | | championship; and |
|---|
| 9 | 9 | | WHEREAS, After besting its three non-district foes early in |
|---|
| 10 | 10 | | the year, the Big Blue Wrecking Crew was equally unstoppable |
|---|
| 11 | 11 | | against its rivals in 31-2A; a key midseason win came against Dilley |
|---|
| 12 | 12 | | High School, which had just one district loss before meeting George |
|---|
| 13 | 13 | | West; the Longhorns reeled off 48 points in the first half of that |
|---|
| 14 | 14 | | contest and held Dilley to just two touchdowns to seal the victory; |
|---|
| 15 | 15 | | and |
|---|
| 16 | 16 | | WHEREAS, The most dramatic showdown of 2008 came in the final |
|---|
| 17 | 17 | | game of the regular season, when George West matched up against |
|---|
| 18 | 18 | | another unbeaten team, the Three Rivers Bulldogs, with the 31-2A |
|---|
| 19 | 19 | | title going to the winner; the hard-fought battle remained close |
|---|
| 20 | 20 | | until a decisive Longhorn touchdown in the final quarter allowed |
|---|
| 21 | 21 | | George West to claim its place as the district's best team; and |
|---|
| 22 | 22 | | WHEREAS, With their outstanding play, the Longhorns earned a |
|---|
| 23 | 23 | | spot in the 2A Division 1 playoffs, where they won two games and |
|---|
| 24 | 24 | | advanced to the state quarterfinals; head coach Gary Davenport and |
|---|
| 25 | 25 | | the members of his exceptional team may take justifiable pride in |
|---|
| 26 | 26 | | their achievements, which are sure to be remembered by their |
|---|
| 27 | 27 | | classmates and hometown supporters for years to come; now, |
|---|
| 28 | 28 | | therefore, be it |
|---|
| 29 | 29 | | RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|---|
| 30 | 30 | | Legislature hereby congratulate the George West High School |
|---|
| 31 | 31 | | football team on winning the 31-2A district championship and |
|---|
| 32 | 32 | | commend the players and coaches for their notable success during |
|---|
| 33 | 33 | | the 2008 season; and, be it further |
|---|
| 34 | 34 | | RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|---|
| 35 | 35 | | prepared for the team as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|---|
| 36 | 36 | | House of Representatives. |
