                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL C. BURGESS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 16, 2014

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Guyer High 
School football team as Class 4A Division I Texas State champions. With 
a decisive win over San Antonio Brennan on December 20, 2013, the Guyer 
Wildcats defended their state title, becoming only the fifth Division I 
program in Class 4A or 5A to win back-to-back championships since 1996.
  Guyer began the season with 11 returning starters, including 
quarterback and 2013 championship game offensive MVP, Jerrod Heard. 
With the victory over Brennan, the Guyer Wildcats completed a season 
which tested their ability to overcome both tremendous physical and 
emotional challenges. Through focused discipline and perseverance, 
Guyer demonstrated for all the power that exists when preparation, 
execution and dedication are directed toward a common objective.
  I am honored to join the team and the entire Guyer community in 
honoring the team's accomplishment in returning the state football 
title to Denton, TX. It is my privilege to join in the celebration of 
their achievement and to represent all of the champions at Guyer High 
School in the U.S. House of Representatives.
