             WHEREAS, The members of the East Chambers High School |

|
Bowl over Anahuac High School; and |
 
|
             WHEREAS, An annual showdown between the District 10-3A |

|
             WHEREAS, The teams battled to a near draw in the first half, |
 
|
with the Anahuac Panthers taking an 8-7 lead into the locker room; |
 
|
the Buccaneers took command in the second half, scoring on their |
 
|
first possession and then cashing in a turnover to up their |
 
|
advantage to 21-8 in the third quarter; after Anahuac narrowed the |
 
|
gap to 21-15, East Chambers slammed the door on its foe in the final |
