We want to celebrate senior student-athletes across the state of Texas who have had their seasons cut short due to the Coronavirus pandemic! Have a male or female student-athlete you think deserves recognition? Email us at william.wilkerson@texasfootball.com with a bit about what makes them so special, including on-field and classroom accomplishments and pictures!
I would like to nominate Sundown High School senior athlete Blake Hulse for recognition with Dave Campbell's Texas Football.
Blake is a 3-sport athlete here at Sundown competing in football, powerlifting and track. He has received numerous football awards and honors, but his biggest accomplishments have been in powerlifting. He is a 3-time Regional Champion and 3-time State Qualifier in Powerlifting. He finished in 8th place at the state meet as a sophomore and 4th place as a junior. He won the award for Best Overall Lifter at our Regional meet this year and was looking forward to competing for a State Championship until all that was halted last week.
He, like many kids, was devastated because he has looked forward to this year and the chance to win a State Championship. Blake is an outstanding young man with high character and values. He has served on our athletic leadership council the past 2 years and is a tremendous role model to our younger kids. He is very involved in his church and works with the younger kids at youth and other events. He plans to attend West Texas A&M University in the fall and eventually become a coach. I am honored to nominate him and I know he would be honored to be recognized by Mr. Campbell and Texas Football.
