WHEREAS, Demonstrating great skill and dedication, the
six-man football team from Brenham Christian Academy captured the
2010 Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools Division II
state championship on December 4, 2010; and
WHEREAS, The Eagles won the title with a 52-12 victory over
Tyler Street Christian Academy of Dallas, completing a perfect 14-0
season and taking home the first state championship in the school's
history; over the course of the 2010 campaign, the team outscored
its opponents 841 to 187 and registered five shutouts, an
impressive feat in the high-scoring environment of six-man
football; after winning just one game in 10 tries in the 2007
season, the Eagles have posted a 38-2 record, a remarkable
turnaround for the program; and
WHEREAS, In their march to the state title, the Eagles
received valuable contributions from each member of the roster:
seniors Drew Anderson, James Anderson, Reagan Cameron, Dylan Cole,
Roy Dawson, Azamat Pate, Ian Roskow, and Michael Wolfskill; juniors
Kyle Armstrong, Austin Dettling, Royce Gross, Alex Pryor, and
Stephen Ridgway; sophomore Kris Rigsby; and freshmen Bryce
Armstrong, Collin Kolkhorst, Kyle Kolkhorst, Talgat Pate, David
Rigsby, Joey Steele, and Nate Taylor; and
WHEREAS, These talented athletes received essential guidance
from head coach Matt Tarbutton, who has taken Brenham Christian
Academy to the state finals in each of the two seasons he has led the
team, with the 2009 squad falling just one victory short of the
title; the Eagles also benefited from the knowledgeable advice of
assistant coaches Jesse Hayre, Peter Morissette, Les Armstrong, and
Denny Varghese; and
WHEREAS, Winning a state championship represents the
culmination of countless hours of hard work and an unwavering
commitment to excellence, and the members of the Brenham Christian
Academy Eagles football team will treasure the memory of this
accomplishment for many years to come; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Brenham Christian Academy
football team on winning the 2010 TAPPS Six-man Division II state
football championship and extend to the players, coaches, and staff
sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the team as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
