H.R. No. 2529
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, During the 2010 season, the Katy High School
football team upheld its reputation as one of the state's premier
programs, winning 13 consecutive games and advancing to the
quarterfinal round of the University Interscholastic League 5A
Division 1 playoffs; and
WHEREAS, The high-powered Tigers offense scored 44 points or
more in each of its regular season contests while the defense
stonewalled opponents, allowing the team to win by an average of
nearly 38 points per game; in one of its most impressive outings,
Katy claimed the District 19-5A title with a resounding victory
over previously unbeaten Cinco Ranch High on November 6 in the final
game before the playoffs; and
WHEREAS, Continuing its commanding play in the postseason,
the team bested Houston Bellaire and Cypress Fairbanks High Schools
before coming from behind in a closely fought duel with North Shore
High to claim the regional crown; another dramatic showdown ensued
in the quarterfinals against Pearland, the eventual state champion,
with the competitors trading the lead back and forth in the final
minutes before Katy was finally defeated by a score of 38-35; and
WHEREAS, The 2010 season marked the ninth time in school
history that the Tigers went undefeated in the regular season, and
it was the ninth consecutive year that the squad reached the
quarterfinal round of the playoffs; the team's consistent
achievement and numerous state titles have earned Katy High School
the admiration of its fans and the respect of its opponents, and
head coach Gary Joseph and his players may take justifiable pride in
their accomplishments; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby honor the Katy High School Tigers on their
success during the 2010 football season and extend to the team's
athletes, coaches, and staff sincere best wishes for the future;
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.
Callegari
