| H.R. No. 264 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Cuero High School football star Jordan Whittington | ||
| closed his senior season in triumphant fashion when he helped the | ||
| Gobblers football team win its first state championship in over | ||
| three decades; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A dominant force on both sides of the ball, | ||
| Mr. Whittington was named both the Offensive and Defensive Most | ||
| Valuable Player in the 4A Division 2 state title game after running | ||
| for a record-breaking 334 yards and accounting for a team-high 11 | ||
| tackles; during the course of the 2018 season, he rushed for 846 | ||
| yards and 14 touchdowns, caught 49 passes for 948 yards and 13 | ||
| touchdowns, and racked up 86 tackles; his accomplishments are all | ||
| the more impressive given that he missed the first four games of the | ||
| year due to injury; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In recognition of his outstanding play, | ||
| Mr. Whittington was named the 2018 4A Built Ford Tough Texas High | ||
| School Player of the Year and was selected as a First Team | ||
| All-American by MaxPreps; he will continue his gridiron career in | ||
| 2019 as a member of the Longhorns football team at The University of | ||
| Texas at Austin; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Jordan Whittington has pursued his goals with | ||
| remarkable drive and an enduring commitment to excellence, and he | ||
| may take great pride in all that he has achieved as he looks ahead to | ||
| a college career bright with promise; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate Jordan Whittington on his | ||
| outstanding accomplishments as a member of the Cuero High School | ||
| football team 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. Whittington as an expression of high regard by the | ||
| Texas House of Representatives. | ||
