                      Wednesday, February 3, 2021

  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the Argyle High 
School Football Team, the Argyle Eagles, and their victory at the 4A 
Division 1 championship.
  After an undefeated 15-game season punctuated by remarkable skill, 
commitment, and diligence, the Argyle Eagles qualified for their UIL 
conference's Division I championship in December 2020. With a strong 
showing at the final game in Arlington's AT&T stadium, the team secured 
the state title for the second time in its history.
  Led by head coach Todd Rodgers, Defensive MVP Zach Stewart, and 
Offensive MVP Tito Byce, the team's unbroken series of successes in the 
2020 season culminated in their outstanding victory last month.
  The teamwork, tenacity, and effort demonstrated by the Argyle Eagles 
team and coaches is highly commendable. In spite of the many challenges 
created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the team, through diligence both on 
and off the field, overcame their obstacles and achieved their ultimate 
goal. I am happy to see the team's estimable fortitude be rewarded with 
another state title.
  I congratulate the coaches and players of the Argyle High School 
Football Team for their admirable achievement in the 2020 football 
season, and for their exemplary devotion to both their team and their 
sport. I am privileged to be able to join the Argyle community, 
parents, family and friends who faithfully supported the team's 
efforts, as they celebrate this accomplishment, and I wish them well in 
all their future endeavors.
