WHEREAS, The Brazoswood High School boys' and girls' water | ||
polo players turned in exceptional performances at the 2022 | ||

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 | ||

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 | ||

in recognizing their achievements; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the 88th Legislature of the State of Texas | ||
