H.R. No. 1172 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The Timberview High School boys' basketball team | ||
once again proved itself one of the finest in Texas when it claimed | ||
the 2019 University Interscholastic League 5A state championship on | ||
March 9 at the Alamodome in San Antonio; and | ||
WHEREAS, After opening the year with 19 consecutive wins, the | ||
Wolves went on to secure the District 5 title with their superb play | ||
in the regular season; Timberview continued to excel throughout the | ||
playoffs, defeating Fort Worth Arlington Heights, Little Elm, | ||
Lewisville The Colony, Lubbock Monterey, and Northwest High Schools | ||
to earn its third trip to the state tournament; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Wolves dominated Manor 79-55 in the semifinals, | ||
setting up a championship showdown against San Antonio Wagner High | ||
School; determined to avenge a two-point regular-season loss to the | ||
Thunderbirds, Timberview raced out to a 47-33 halftime advantage; | ||
the Wolves quelled Wagner's fourth-quarter comeback, emerging | ||
triumphant by the final score of 77-64 to capture their second 5A | ||
state crown in the past three years; closing out the season with | ||
another 19-game winning streak, Timberview compiled an impressive | ||
overall record of 38 victories and only 2 losses; and | ||
WHEREAS, Timberview was paced in the title game by the | ||
24-point performance of Most Valuable Player C. J. Smith, and he was | ||
joined on the 5A All-Tournament Team by Trazarien White and Rodrigo | ||
Soares; the Wolves also received valuable contributions throughout | ||
the 2018-2019 campaign from the other members of the roster: | ||
Marquiss Childs, Samir Dhalle, Braeden Jordan, Davontae McKinney, | ||
Jacob Owens, Ahmad Richardson, Dwaylen Russell, Stacy Sneed, | ||
Tristan Starks, Raam Stevenson, Cameron Taylor, and Jared | ||
Washington; these determined athletes were ably guided by head | ||
coach Duane Gregory and assistant coaches Keith Howell, Byron | ||
McCollum, and Matthew Workman; and | ||
WHEREAS, Winning a state championship represents the | ||
culmination of countless hours of hard work and an unwavering | ||
commitment to excellence, and the members of the Timberview High | ||
School basketball team will treasure the memory of this | ||
accomplishment for the rest of their lives; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate the Timberview High School boys' | ||
basketball team on winning the 2019 UIL 5A state championship and | ||
extend to the team's players, coaches, and staff sincere best | ||
wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the Wolves as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
Turner of Tarrant | ||
