SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 666
WHEREAS, The Winnsboro Wrestling Club enjoyed an outstanding
2016-2017 season filled with memorable performances; and
WHEREAS, In only its second year of competition, the
Crusaders team once again boasted a deep lineup of talented
wrestlers, netting an impressive haul of 61 gold medals, 56
silver medals, and 36 bronze medals, as well as several state
titles; and
WHEREAS, Many of the club's members participated in the
2017 Novice State Tournament held in Round Rock in January; the
team experienced a number of triumphant moments at the state
contest, with Jacob Laborde capturing the championship crown,
Zeb Fulmer, Alec Telles, Caden Crump, and Keith Nichols placing
second in their weight classes, and Derrick Coffman finishing
third in his division; and
WHEREAS, The following month, the Crusaders competed in
the 2017 Texas USA Wrestling state championship at the Legends
Sports Complex in The Woodlands, the largest tournament of its
kind during the season; at the rookie event, Mr. Telles clinched
the state title and Ryan Graham won silver in his weight class; in
the open division, the club was proudly represented by 11
wrestlers, including Gage Fulmer, who placed third in his weight
class; and
WHEREAS, Ably guided by coach Mike Laborde, the Crusaders
demonstrated admirable skill and determination throughout the
season, with each member of the roster contributing to the team's
accomplishments, and they may take justifiable pride in their
tremendous efforts; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
Legislature, hereby congratulate the Winnsboro Wrestling Club on
its achievements during the 2016-2017 season and extend to all
those associated with the team sincere best wishes for continued
success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for the
Crusaders as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate.
