                                 ______


                           HON. FRANK TEJEDA

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 4, 1995
  Mr. TEJEDA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the outstanding 
achievement of the boy's basketball team of East Central High School in 
San Antonio, TX. This remarkable team capped a 35-win, undefeated 
season by winning the university interscholastic league's 5A State 
basketball championship on March 11, 1995. The East Central Hornets 
were the only undefeated team in the league this year, and the first 
undefeated 5a champion since 1987. As a testament to its basketball 
prowess, East Central was ranked as the No. 1 boy's basketball team in 
Texas for the entire season.
  The Team included Stanley Bonewitz, Donte Mathis, Charles Jackson,, 
Chip Moxley, David White, Keith Rice, Oliver House, Josh Barnes, Blake 
Sims, Eric Luke, Stacey Dubley, Ben Lakey, Jeremy Lear, Steve Shrum, 
Curtis Lundy, Marquieth Braziel, Jason Minica, and Matt Divin. Three 
Players averaged over 20 points per game for the season, and all 3 have 
scored over 1,000 career points. Stanley Bonewitz averaged 31.1 ppg, 
Donte Mathis averaged 21.3 ppg, and Charles Jackson averaged 21.1 ppg.
  The Hornets averaged over 109 points per game during the regular 
season, and set a State tournament record for a 2-game series with 215 
points. the 108 to 86 victory in the final tied the State record for 
most points in a championship game. Most valuable player honors for the 
5A state tournament went to east Central's Stanley Bonewitz, who scored 
42 points in a 107-94 semifinal win and 36 points in the final game. 
His 78 total points set a 5A record.
  Under the direction of coach Stan Bonewitz for the past 14 years, 
East Central has gone 343-120 and captured 10 district championships, 7 
area championships, 3 regional championships, and 1 state championship. 
Assistant coaches Jay Mead, Matt Oden, Steve Ochoa, and head trainer 
Charlie Trevino also played a key role in the team's success. Here is 
an example of teamwork at its best, with our young people coming 
together to play hard and strive for success. This year, for the 
Hornets, that effort garnered the state trophy. I have no doubt that 
the positive experiences from this past season will yield continued 
success both on and off the court to the East Central players and 
coaches.
