R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The 2010 University Interscholastic League 2A

WHEREAS, Closing out their 12th consecutive playoff
appearance, the Wildcats met the previously undefeated Lexington
Eagles at Vernon Newsom Stadium in Mansfield and held them to a

this season; and

straight victories in the regular season, which allowed Idalou to
seize the district title; in the playoffs, the team's combination

opponents; the Wildcats won by at least 17 points in each contest
and gave up just one touchdown in five games; and

received valuable contributions from each member of the roster:
Bradley Adkins, Ethan Arismendez, Nathan Bell, Josh Caffey, Ryan
Calvillo, Tyler Cook, Blake Davis, Tyler Dowdy, Alec Estes, Nick
Gary, Brady Gunter, Kale Johnson, Tylo Kirkpatrick, Kaden Lackey,

WHEREAS, Head coach Johnny Taylor was ably assisted by
Matthew Brown, Jack Cheek, Garrett Heard, Tyler Helms, Jeff Lofton,
Don Long, Gaines Magee, Russ Reagan, Mark Turner, and Newt Wheeler;
and
WHEREAS, Through hard work and an enduring commitment to
excellence, the Idalou High football team reached the ultimate
level of success during 2010, and these skilled athletes may take
justifiable pride in this accomplishment; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Idalou High School football
team on winning the UIL 2A Division 2 state championship and commend
the players and coaches for their fine work during a title-winning
season; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
