Monday night! 

TOUCHDOWN CLUB AWARDS DINNER 
Texans Executive Vice President/General Manager Charley Casserly was the 
keynote speaker Wednesday night at the Houston Touchdown Club,s 21st Annual 
High School Awards Dinner at the JW Marriott on Westheimer. The Texans, as 
well as coaches from 29 college football programs, joined the Touchdown Club 
in recognizing Houston,s best gridiron performances from the 2000 season.

Coach of the Year honors went to The Woodlands, Weldon Willig, who led the 
Highlanders to an 11-3 mark and their third consecutive District 15-5A 
championship. Klein Forest RB Yamar Washington took home Offensive Player of 
the Year honors. Jersey Village LB Shawn Brooks won Defensive Player of the 
Year honors and Jaxson Appel of Friendswood earned the Iron Man Award for 
best two-way player in the city. 

? 
Casserly told the gathering of players, coaches and parents that they should 
all be proud of what they collectively accomplished. But in addressing the 
players he also did a little coaching himself. 

&Some of you won't play football again. Some of you will go on to play in 
college and some of you might play in the NFL,8 Casserly said. &But in each 
instance your primary goal should be academics. Think about it, if you have a 
Hall of Fame career in football, your career will be over 15 years from now 
-- even if you're one of the best players in the history of the game. You 
have to have something to fall back on.

&You need to stay in college all four years and get a degree. If you're good 
enough to play in the NFL, it will always be there.8
