R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The football team from South Oak Cliff High School
in Dallas continued its tradition of excellence by winning the 2022
University Interscholastic League 5A Division 2 state
championship; and
WHEREAS, Demonstrating unwavering resolve after dropping
three games to begin the year, the Golden Bears reeled off seven
consecutive victories to claim the district title; the team carried
its momentum into the playoffs, besting Mansfield Summit, Lucas
Lovejoy, Midlothian Heritage, Melissa, and Argyle High Schools to
reach the state title contest; and
WHEREAS, South Oak Cliff battled for the crown against Port
Neches-Groves High School on December 16 at AT&T Stadium in
Arlington; after trailing 17-12 at intermission, the Golden Bears
erupted for 22 straight points in the second half and prevailed by a
final score of 34-24; with the triumph, the team became the first
repeat state champion in Dallas Independent School District
history; and
WHEREAS, Offensive Most Valuable Player William Little
recorded 235 yards passing, a touchdown pass, and a rushing
touchdown in the title game, and Defensive MVP Manny Muhammad was
responsible for two tackles and an interception that he returned
for a touchdown; ably guided by head coach Jason Todd and his staff,
the Golden Bears received valuable contributions from each member
of the roster over the course of an unforgettable season; and
WHEREAS, By once again earning the mantle of state champions,
the South Oak Cliff High School Golden Bears have burnished the
school's reputation as a gridiron powerhouse, and this achievement
will be fondly remembered for many years to come; now, therefore, be
it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the South Oak Cliff High School
football team on winning the 2022 UIL 5A Division 2 state
championship and that the team's players, coaches, and staff be
extended sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the Golden Bears as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
