H.R. No. 1320 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The Georgetown High School girls' soccer team | ||
enjoyed exceptional success in 2023, capping the year with a | ||
coveted berth in the University Interscholastic League Soccer State | ||
Championships; and | ||
WHEREAS, Following an undefeated regular-season run during | ||
which they won the district title, the Lady Eagles continued to | ||
excel in the playoffs; they opened with an 8-0 blowout against | ||
Northeast Early College High School and followed with victories | ||
over Lake Belton, Magnolia, and Barbers Hill; and | ||
WHEREAS, In the regional final, the Lady Eagles met Belton | ||
High School in a dramatic showdown that remained deadlocked 1-1 | ||
through two overtime periods; Georgetown emerged triumphant by a | ||
7-6 count in the shootout to claim its first regional championship | ||
and its inaugural trip to the state final four; in the 5A | ||
semifinals, the Lady Eagles faced off against Frisco High School; | ||
though Georgetown's season came to an end in a hard-fought loss, the | ||
players established a new standard of excellence by reaching the | ||
state tournament and by setting school records for the most | ||
victories in a season, with 25, and the most goals scored, with 104; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, The Lady Eagles were paced by Addie Russu, who set a | ||
single-season mark with 27 goals, and by Mycah Morrow, who tallied a | ||
record 20 assists; Georgetown also received valuable contributions | ||
from the other members of the roster: Mckenna Villarreal, Neliaj | ||
Deleon, Valeria Fernandez, Avery Linck, Anna Bruchmiller, Galilea | ||
Martinez, Ambrey Heath, Kate Cowley, Emma Dean, Emma Gilliland, | ||
Emma Moore, Hana Gonzalez, Ernie Benson, Kimberly Salazar, Tori | ||
Phillips, Sam White, Charlotte Brown, Dennie Decker, Maddie Eichel, | ||
Lola Powell, Finley Newell, Maeve Connerty, Bella Flowers, Amy | ||
Fangman, Aubrey Pelczar, and Emilie Novosad; and | ||
WHEREAS, These talented student-athletes were ably directed | ||
by head coach Sam McCutchen, who is retiring in 2023 after an | ||
outstanding career that has spanned a total of 45 years at the high | ||
school and college levels; the Lady Eagles also received vital | ||
support from assistant coaches Eduardo Venegas, Elise Lutz, and | ||
Amanda Feely, athletic trainers Chad Hennessey and Vanessa Redeaux, | ||
student trainer Piper Elliot, managers Avery Arnold and Ana Mendes, | ||
girls' athletic coordinator Rhonda Farney, athletic director Jason | ||
Dean, and principal Brian Johnson; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Georgetown Lady Eagles have earned the | ||
admiration of their fellow students and their many community | ||
supporters, and they may indeed reflect with great pride on a job | ||
well done; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate the Georgetown High School girls' | ||
soccer team on its achievements during the 2023 season and extend to | ||
the 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 Lady Eagles as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
