WHEREAS, Jarrell's Jontue FearsHayes was chosen to the Class 2A AllState honorable mention offensive and defensive football teams; joining him as an honorable mention AllState selection were teammates Matt Hausenfluke, Justin Bryson, and Brandon Hayes; and

WHEREAS, The superb season would not have been possible without the significant contributions of all of the team members; with hard work, training, and determination, these exemplary young men have proven themselves to be formidable competitors, and as they take justifiable pride and satisfaction in their tremendous season, it is indeed appropriate to honor them at this time; now, therefore, be it
