SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 214
WHEREAS, The Idalou High School football team won the 2010
University Interscholastic League 2A Division 2 state
championship with a victory over Lexington High School on
December 18, 2010, at Vernon Newsom Stadium in Mansfield; and
WHEREAS, The 20-3 win in the title game capped a remarkable
11-game winning streak by the Wildcats that saw them sweep all
six of their league games and defeat five playoff opponents;
after losing three close contests in their first four games,
Idalou never let another team into double figures for the rest of
the season, posting five shutouts and outpointing their rivals
394 to 27; and
WHEREAS, The team's 12-3 record in 2010 was typical of the
outstanding play Idalou has delivered under the guidance of Coach
Johnny Taylor; the school has the best winning percentage in 2A
football over the past decade and has made the playoffs for 12
consecutive years; and
WHEREAS, Throughout their championship run, the Wildcats
demonstrated teamwork, tenacity, competitiveness, and integrity;
these talented and dedicated student-athletes are a source of
great pride to their many supporters in the local community, and
their exceptional performance on the gridiron in 2010 will long
be remembered and celebrated; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd
Legislature, hereby congratulate the Idalou High School football
team on winning the University Interscholastic League 2A
Division 2 state championship and extend sincere best wishes to
the players, coaches, and staff 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 from the
Texas Senate.
