	H.C.R. No. 59



	HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
	WHEREAS, The Brazoswood High School boys' and girls' water
	polo players turned in exceptional performances at the 2022
	University Interscholastic League Water Polo State Tournament,
	held on October 29 in San Antonio, earning a place among the state's
	elite teams in the sport's first year of UIL competition; and
	WHEREAS, The Brazoswood boys' team claimed the District 12-6A
	title and then continued to excel with a series of wins during the
	postseason; in the regional finals, the Buccaneers notched a 15-13
	victory over Dawson High School to advance to the state tournament;
	the team faced off against Southlake Carroll High in the 6A
	semifinals and recorded a dramatic 16-14 win; that set the stage for
	a showdown with Boerne Champion High in the finals, with Brazoswood
	emerging triumphant by the decisive score of 19-10 to take the
	inaugural 6A title; and
	WHEREAS, The district champion Brazoswood girls were also
	unstoppable on the road to the state tournament and dispatched
	Cypress Ranch 13-7 in the regional final to punch their ticket to
	San Antonio; there, the Buccaneers bested Northside Brandeis High
	15-4 to reach the finals, and they ultimately finished as runner-up
	after a hard-fought loss to Richmond Foster High School; and
	WHEREAS, Anthony Sury paced the Brazoswood boys as the
	championship match Most Valuable Player, and Mason Potter and
	Jayden Arana joined him on the All-Tournament Team; the Buccaneers
	also received vital contributions from the other members of the
	roster: Ethan Lower, Braylon Ponzi, Sean Brown, Luke Mixon, Jack
	Lower, Brady James, Landon Castor, Jackson Cobb, Zeyad Chouai,
	Kasen Corn, Collin Pyeatt, Hayden Donley, Michael Johnson, Ben
	Gonzalez, and Nathan Napoli; and
	WHEREAS, The Brazoswood girls were led by All-Tournament Team
	selections Gigi Lower and Mallory Kesler and benefited from the
	determined efforts of the other Buccaneers: Minnie Tran, Jaycie
	Fort, Sarah Gambrel, Sarah Mitterling, Maria Afonso, Sidney Slater,
	Emma Meservy, Alex Sparkman, Allie Jones, Victoria Martin, Kendall
	Dane, Michelle Ebey, Mallory Varga, Anna Reuschle, and Hannah
	Poore-Pekar; these talented student-athletes were guided by head
	coach Robert Brown and assistant coach Kiel Haner; and
	WHEREAS, The Brazoswood water polo teams are a source of
	great pride to their community, and it is indeed a pleasure to join
	in recognizing their achievements; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the 88th Legislature of the State of Texas
	hereby congratulate the Brazoswood High School boys' and girls'
	water polo teams on their exceptional performances at the 2022 UIL
	Water Polo State Tournament and extend to the Buccaneers sincere
	best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the teams as an expression of high regard by the Texas
	House of Representatives and Senate.
