| H.R. No. 1352 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The boys' basketball team from Clarendon High School | ||
| furthered the school's tradition of athletic excellence by winning | ||
| the 2022 University Interscholastic League 2A title to retain its | ||
| mantle as state champion; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Following a stellar performance in the regular | ||
| season, the Broncos entered the playoffs on a wave of momentum and | ||
| dispatched Sunray, Vega, Gruver, New Home, and Christoval High | ||
| Schools to punch their ticket to the state tournament for the sixth | ||
| time in program history; there, Clarendon toppled LaRue LaPoynor | ||
| 69-60 in the semifinals to advance to the championship contest; and | ||
| WHEREAS, On March 12 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, | ||
| Clarendon took the floor against previously undefeated Lipan High | ||
| School; after trailing by eight points at halftime, the Broncos | ||
| ignited an impressive run in the second half, outscoring their | ||
| opponents 49-27; emerging victorious by the final score of 65-51, | ||
| the Broncos hoisted the championship trophy for the second straight | ||
| season and closed out a storybook year with an overall record of 31 | ||
| wins and only two losses; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Clarendon was led by championship game Most Valuable | ||
| Player LaMarcus Penigar, and he was joined on the 2A All-Tournament | ||
| Team by Cayden D'Costa and Jmaury Davis; the Broncos also received | ||
| valuable contributions throughout the year from the other members | ||
| of the roster: Harrison Howard, Jordan Herndon, Lyric Smith, Jaxan | ||
| McAnear, Tyler Harper, Kaleb Bolin, Anthony Ceniceros, Mason Sims, | ||
| Levi Gates, Colton Caudle, Reagan Wade, and Grant Haynes; these | ||
| determined athletes were ably guided by head coach Boston Hudson | ||
| and assistant coach Alton Gaines; and | ||
| WHEREAS, By winning back-to-back state titles, the Clarendon | ||
| Broncos have burnished their reputation as an emerging basketball | ||
| powerhouse, and they may indeed reflect with pride on a job well | ||
| done; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the Clarendon High School boys' | ||
| basketball team on winning the 2022 UIL 2A state championship and | ||
| extend to the team's players, coaches, and staff sincere best | ||
| wishes for continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the team as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
| King of Hemphill | ||
