                        Monday, January 23, 2017

  Mr. FARENTHOLD. Mr. Speaker, on a lighter note, I'd like to 
congratulate Coach Jason Herring and the Refugio Bobcats football team 
for winning their fourth state championship.
   The Bobcats had a 15-1 record this school year and defeated Crawford 
in the championship game 23-20 in an impressive game-winning 18-yard 
field goal by kicker Diego Gonzales with only eight seconds remaining.
   Quarterback Jacobe Avery was Championship Game offensive MVP and 
Linebacker Kobie Herring was named defensive MVP. This was an 
impressive year for the whole team. Winning is a Refugio tradition. The 
Bobcats have won the state championship in 1970, 1982, 2011 and have 
been in the state championship three out of the past four years and now 
in 2016 the Bobcats are once again state champions. Way to go Refugio.
