H.R. No. 173
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Glen Rose High School head basketball coach Wayne
Roberts reached a notable milestone when he recorded his 700th
career win on December 11, 2014; and
WHEREAS, The memorable victory came in the opening round of
the Glen Rose Lions Club Tournament against the squad from West High
School; playing with their trademark skill and determination, the
Tigers built up a lead in the second and third quarters and went on
to secure a 56-39 win, setting off a jubilant celebration among the
Glen Rose players in honor of their coach; and
WHEREAS, Coach Roberts began his career in 1982 at Lamesa
High School, where he took several of his squads to the state
tournament, and he took over as head basketball coach at Glen Rose
in 2001; in earning his 700th win, he has furthered his reputation
as an exemplary coach, and his accomplishment is made all the more
special by the fact that he is retiring at the end of the 2014-2015
season; and
WHEREAS, Over the course of his more than three decades in the
coaching profession, Wayne Roberts has made a positive difference
in the lives of countless young people, and he is truly deserving of
special recognition for the remarkable accomplishment of winning
700 games; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Wayne Roberts on his 700th career
victory as a basketball coach 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. Roberts as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
