WHEREAS, The girls' basketball team from Martin's Mill High | ||
School continued its tradition of excellence by claiming the 2019 | ||
University Interscholastic League 2A state title on March 2 at the | ||
Alamodome in San Antonio; and | ||
WHEREAS, After a strong showing in the regular season, the | ||
Martin's Mill squad secured playoff victories over Wolfe City, | ||
Harleton, Celeste, Muenster, and Era High Schools to earn its fifth | ||
consecutive appearance at the state tournament; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Lady Mustangs defeated Panhandle High School | ||
49-47 in the semifinals before facing off against Grapeland High | ||
School for the 2A championship; combining a stout defense with | ||
clutch shooting, Martin's Mill rallied from an eight-point deficit | ||
in the third quarter of the hard-fought finale to triumph in a 60-56 | ||
decision; the victory marked the first time in school history that | ||
Martin's Mill has collected back-to-back state crowns, and it | ||

finished the 2019 campaign with an unblemished record of 39 wins and | ||
no losses; and | ||

Nixon, Rachel Alvis, Ashley Reiser, Jada Celsur, Taylor Sparks, | ||
Kenzie Cross, Mollie Daniel, and Sa'Miyah Allen; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through hard work and an unwavering resolve to give | ||
their very best, the members of the Martin's Mill Lady Mustangs | ||
basketball team have once again proven themselves the finest 2A | ||
team in the Lone Star State, and they may indeed reflect with pride | ||
on a job well done; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate the Martin's Mill High School | ||
girls' basketball team on winning the 2019 UIL 2A state | ||
championship and extend to all those associated with the team | ||
sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the Lady Mustangs as an expression of high regard by | ||
the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
