WHEREAS, The remarkable talent and dedication of Booker High
School quarterback Hunter Lile have earned him the title of
Football Player of the Year from the Panhandle Sports Hall of Fame;
and
WHEREAS, In just two seasons at the high school level, Mr.
Lile has already established the Texas Panhandle record for career
passing, amassing a total of 7,120 yards; during his sophomore year
in 2012, he led his team to the playoffs for the first time in school
history and helped the Kiowas advance to the regional round of the
postseason while setting a new 1A single-season standard for
passing with 3,996 yards; and
WHEREAS, An impressive all-around athlete who plays both
offense and defense, Mr. Lile made the All-District first team as a
linebacker, but his true artistry emerges after he takes the snap
from center; his stellar performances garnered several accolades
from the Amarillo Globe-News, including recognition as 1A Player of
the Year, as Super Team Offensive Player of the Year, and as signal
caller for the 1A Golden Spread team; in addition, the Associated
Press made him a second team All-State selection, and the United
States Marine Corps designated him the Elite Warrior of the Year for
West Texas; and
WHEREAS, Hunter Lile has distinguished himself as an
exceptional player who is poised for further glory in the years
ahead, and he is indeed deserving of this prestigious award; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Hunter Lile on being named Football
Player of the Year by the Panhandle Sports Hall of Fame and extend
to him sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Lile as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
