H.C.R. No. 26 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The baseball team of Brazoswood High School in Clute | ||
won the University Interscholastic League 5A state championship on | ||
June 11, 2011, at the Dell Diamond in Round Rock, capping a | ||
spectacular season and giving its school its third state baseball | ||
title; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Buccaneers came to epitomize teamwork, | ||
dedication, and skill as they finished their year with a 34-8 | ||
record; although they were considered the underdog in games against | ||
powerhouse teams from Houston Lamar, Houston Memorial, and Klein | ||
High Schools in postseason competition, they bested both Lamar and | ||
Memorial without losing a single game and pulled off a dramatic | ||
come-from-behind win in the state tournament semifinals against | ||
Klein; they went on to dominate every inning in their 10-3 | ||
championship game against Lubbock Coronado to complete the playoffs | ||
with 12 straight victories; and | ||
WHEREAS, Many on the Brazoswood team had played together for | ||
11 years, always with the dream of making it to the state | ||
tournament; in a gesture reflecting their determined focus, they | ||
had written "State 2011" on the inside of their caps to remind them | ||
daily of their goal; and | ||
WHEREAS, A group that emphasized solid baseball fundamentals | ||
and hard work, the Buccaneers benefited from the contributions of | ||
each individual player, with someone different stepping up to | ||
deliver a game-changing performance in every contest; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Brazoswood team was encouraged all season long | ||
by a tremendous outpouring of community support, with everyone from | ||
87-year-old grandmothers to excited classmates chanting "We are | ||
B'Wood" throughout every inning; and | ||
WHEREAS, Buccaneers who were honored for their fine play in | ||
the state tournament are William Renner, who earned the Most | ||
Valuable Player award, and Brandon Bergen, William Easter, Dalton | ||
Perry, and James Cantu, who were also named to the All-Tournament | ||
team; and | ||
WHEREAS, Throughout the season, the Buccaneers received an | ||
outstanding effort from each member of the roster, which also | ||
included Eddie Esquivel, Jacob Reed, Jorge Gonzalez, Scott Lapier, | ||
Colby Alexander, Justin Dellinger, A. J. Angelone, Ethan Stremmel, | ||
Josh Ward, Blake Jones, Zak Trevino, Bobby Franklin, Evan Hundl, | ||
John Ermis, Michael Pyeatt, Dominikk Mottu-Branch, Ryan Rios, and | ||
Trevor Valigura; the players were guided by head coach Bobby | ||
Williams, who claimed his first state title, assistant coaches Mike | ||
Cressman and Josh Cathcart, junior varsity coach Chris Nabors, | ||
sophomore coach David Cowley, and freshman coach Javier Solis; | ||
vital support was further provided by trainers Lauren DeLaTorre, | ||
Blake Lapier, Willie Caines, and Bobby Jack Caines, athletic | ||
director Jesse Crow, and principal Steve Snell; and | ||
WHEREAS, Achieving such a challenging goal required each of | ||
the team's talented athletes to perform at the top of his game, and | ||
this triumph is both a fitting culmination to the Buccaneers' many | ||
years of hard work and a powerful testament to their unwavering | ||
resolve and indomitable spirit; in winning the coveted state crown, | ||
these young champions have distinguished themselves as formidable | ||
competitors and brought recognition and an enormous sense of pride | ||
to their school, as well as to the Brazosport community and all of | ||
Brazoria County; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the 82nd Legislature of the State of Texas, | ||
1st Called Session, hereby congratulate the Brazoswood High School | ||
Buccaneers on winning the 2011 UIL 5A state baseball championship | ||
and extend sincere best wishes to the players, coaches, and staff | ||
for continued success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the Brazoswood Buccaneers as an expression of high | ||
regard by the Texas House of Representatives and Senate. | ||
