H.R. No. 1769
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, John Jordan, a senior on the Texas A&M
University--Corpus Christi men's basketball team, set a new
standard of excellence on the hardwood on March 7, 2015; and
WHEREAS, In a late-season matchup against Abilene Christian
University, Mr. Jordan compiled 11 points and 6 rebounds in a 58-27
victory for the Islanders; in the process, he surpassed 1,500
points, 500 rebounds, and 500 assists for his collegiate career,
becoming the only active Division I basketball player in the
country to have reached that milestone; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Jordan's notable accomplishment was made all
the more special by the fact that he was able to complete the feat on
Senior Day in front of a raucous home crowd at the American Bank
Center; a four-year starter for the Islanders, he previously earned
All-Southland Conference honors and the university's Male Athlete
of the Year award during his impressive junior season; and
WHEREAS, This remarkable student-athlete's skills on the
basketball court are an inspiration to his team, his fellow
students, and the Corpus Christi community, and it is indeed
fitting that he be recognized for his significant achievement; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate John Jordan on compiling more than
1,500 points, 500 rebounds, and 500 assists during his collegiate
career 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. Jordan as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
