| H.R. No. 1583 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The Gruver High School girls' basketball team | ||
| enjoyed an outstanding 2014-2015 season, advancing all the way to | ||
| the University Interscholastic League 2A state championship game on | ||
| March 7, 2015, at the Alamodome in San Antonio; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Lady Greyhounds compiled a stellar overall | ||
| record of 31 wins and just 6 defeats, and they qualified for the | ||
| state tournament for only the second time in school history; the | ||
| team began its thrilling postseason run with commanding victories | ||
| over Shamrock and Abernathy High Schools, and the team followed | ||
| those performances with hard-fought wins over previously | ||
| undefeated squads from Wellington and Christoval High Schools; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Matching up with Canadian High School in the | ||
| regional finals, the Lady Hounds withstood a late rally to triumph | ||
| over their district rival by a score of 39-34, securing the Region | ||
| 1-2A crown and punching their ticket to the state tournament; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Gruver faced off against Weimar High School in the | ||
| state semifinals, and the two squads fought to a stalemate at the | ||
| end of regulation; with the team clinging to a one-point lead late | ||
| in the overtime period, Lady Greyhound player Reagan Haynes | ||
| intercepted a pass and then made two clutch free throws to clinch a | ||
| 51-48 victory and a berth in the state finals; there, the Gruver | ||
| athletes put up a determined effort but ultimately fell to Martin's | ||
| Mill High School to bring their memorable season to a close; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Guided by head coach Trent Lankford and assistant | ||
| coaches Bekah Morrison, Terry Davis, and Tori Skarke, the Lady | ||
| Hounds received essential contributions throughout the season from | ||
| each member of the team; in addition to Ms. Haynes, the roster | ||
| includes Brennyn Seagler, Michaela Davis, Kennedy King, Klaire | ||
| Irwin, Bailey Stedje, Sarah Jackson, Kennedy Venneman, Patty | ||
| Garcia, Kailey Whitehead, Hadlee Spivey, Christina Ayala, Landry | ||
| Davis, Klaire King, and Mattie Mayfield; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The dedicated members of the Gruver High School | ||
| girls' basketball team proved themselves one of the top 2A squads in | ||
| Texas during the 2014-2015 campaign, and they may reflect with | ||
| pride on their notable accomplishments; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the Gruver High School girls' | ||
| basketball team on its successful season 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 team as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
| King of Hemphill | ||
