H.R. No. 994 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The team from Robinson High School made a strong | ||
showing in the Texas Tennis Coaches Association 3A Regional Team | ||
Tennis Tournament in Bryan/College Station on March 4 and 5, 2011, | ||
thereby qualifying for the state tournament; and | ||
WHEREAS, Seeded number three in the regional competition, the | ||
Rockets turned back the Madisonville Mustangs in the first round | ||
and the talented, number two-seeded Kirbyville High School squad in | ||
the second round; although the Robinson athletes fell to perennial | ||
rivals Groesbeck High in the finals, their second-place finish | ||
entitles them to a trip to the state finals, marking the sixth time | ||
in the past eight years they have achieved that goal; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Rockets benefited from exceptional performances | ||
by a number of players; Nikki Bright paired with Kendall Newman to | ||
sweep their three mixed doubles contests; in addition, Mr. Bright | ||
won all three of his singles matches, and Ms. Newman bested two of | ||
her three singles opponents; Brenna Miller and Erin Rogers teamed | ||
up to sweep their three doubles matches, and both excelled in | ||
singles play as well; and | ||
WHEREAS, Important contributions were also made by the other | ||
members of the Robinson team to play in the tournament: Bri Beden, | ||
Haley Bortz, Jacob Wingate, Will Schmaus, Valerie Showalter, Baylee | ||
Lange, Justin Kramer, Christian Gonzalez-Torres, Eric Bortz, | ||
Hunter Goolsby, Coleman Swoveland, Leslie Sanchez, Evan Behnke, and | ||
Kyle Bauernschmitt; and | ||
WHEREAS, Guided by coach Jack Gregory, the 2010-2011 Rockets | ||
team is continuing the Robinson High tradition of tennis | ||
excellence, and the athletes may take great pride in the skill and | ||
determination that they have demonstrated throughout the season; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate the Robinson High School tennis | ||
team for qualifying for the state tournament and extend to the | ||
players and Coach Gregory 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. | ||
Anderson of McLennan | ||
