|
||
WHEREAS, The Nazareth High School girls' basketball team | ||
furthered its legacy of excellence by winning the 2019 University | ||
Interscholastic League 1A state championship on March 2 at the | ||
Alamodome in San Antonio, collecting its third consecutive title; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, After compiling an outstanding record of 26 wins and | ||
just 6 losses during regular season play, the Swiftettes embarked | ||
on a thrilling postseason run in which they defeated the teams from | ||
Claude, Follett, Ropes, and McLean High Schools to secure a berth in | ||
the state tournament; and | ||
WHEREAS, After routing Hermleigh High School 48-17 in the | ||
semifinals, Nazareth squared off against Dodd City in the finals, | ||
which marked the third year in a row that the two teams had battled | ||
for the 1A crown; the Swiftettes came out with the hot hand, taking | ||
an early lead and closing out the first half with a four-point lead; | ||
the talented Nazareth players were even more impressive after the | ||
intermission and ultimately overpowered Dodd City in a 54-33 win; | ||
in addition to hoisting the trophy each year since 2017, the | ||
Swiftettes have won five state titles in the past six years and an | ||
incredible total of 23 overall, more than any other school in Texas; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, Excelling with a true team effort, the Swiftettes | ||
received valuable contributions throughout the season from each | ||
member of the roster: Blakely Gerber, April Schmucker, Addie Dyer, | ||
Emma Kleman, Makenzy Corrales, Lexis Nieves, Hallie Kleman, Cambrie | ||
Heiman, Amy Schilderink, Emily Dyer, and Merry Gerber; these | ||
dedicated athletes benefited from the leadership of head coach Eric | ||
Schilling and assistant coach Kelsi Pittillo; and | ||
WHEREAS, Winning a state championship represents the | ||
culmination of countless hours of training and an unwavering | ||
commitment to excellence, and the members of the Swiftettes | ||
basketball team are a source of great pride to their school and | ||
community; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate the Nazareth High School girls' | ||
basketball team on winning the 2019 UIL 1A 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 team as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. |
