FULL TEXT:
WHEREAS, Bringing the 2018 season to a dramatic and triumphant conclusion, the Galena Park North Shore Senior High School football team captured the 2018 University Interscholastic League 6A Division 1 state championship at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on December 22; and WHEREAS, Under the guidance of head coach Jon Kay, the Mustangs cruised through the regular season with an unblemished record on the strength of a high-powered offense and stifling defense; their inspired play continued into the postseason as they defeated Pasadena Dobie, Dickinson, Katy, Cy-Fair, and Austin Lake Travis High Schools, with North Shore winning each game by double-digit margins; and WHEREAS, In the state title contest, the Mustangs took the field against Duncanville High School in a clash of unbeaten squads; the back-and-forth battle featured multiple lead changes throughout and ultimately culminated in a remarkable final play; North Shore trailed by a single point with just three seconds left on the clock when quarterback Dematrius Davis launched a Hail Mary pass 45 yards into the Duncanville end zone that was miraculously grabbed by receiver AJ Carter to earn the Mustangs the state crown; and WHEREAS, The members of the North Shore Senior High football team demonstrated admirable skill and determination in winning the state championship and compiling a flawless record against top competition, and memories of this exemplary accomplishment will resonate with their fellow students and their many supporters in the local community for many years to come; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas Legislature hereby congratulate the Galena Park North Shore Senior High School football team on winning the 2018 UIL 6A Division 1 state championship and extend to the team's players, coaches, and staff sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be prepared for the team as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
