| H.R. No. 1770 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Members of the 1990 girls' basketball team from | ||
| Calallen High School in Corpus Christi celebrated the 25th | ||
| anniversary of their state championship victory in March 2015; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Lady Wildcats entered the 1990 University | ||
| Interscholastic League 4A state playoffs with only one loss on the | ||
| year, and the team advanced through the early rounds of the | ||
| postseason with decisive victories over Uvalde and Edcouch-Elsa | ||
| High Schools; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In the regional semifinals, Calallen dominated the | ||
| team from Kerrville Tivy High School, notching a 57-33 win to | ||
| continue its thrilling run; with a berth in the state tournament on | ||
| the line in the regional final, the Lady Wildcats proved up to the | ||
| task once again, besting Hays High School by one point in a tightly | ||
| contested game; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Calallen found itself in another close battle when | ||
| it matched up against Dallas Lincoln High School in the state | ||
| semifinals at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin; the teams fought to | ||
| a stalemate at the end of regulation, but the Lady Wildcats refused | ||
| to let their season come to an end as they came away with the 68-62 | ||
| overtime win that set the stage for a title game showdown against | ||
| Waco Midway High School in the 4A final; inspired by the support of | ||
| their fervent fans, the Corpus Christi players secured a 46-39 | ||
| triumph to claim the state championship and close out the year with | ||
| a 39-1 record; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Over the course of the 1989-1990 season, the Lady | ||
| Wildcats relied on outstanding performances from each member of the | ||
| team: Hope Hodges, Kim Crowley, Amy Acuff, Shana Brown, Stacy | ||
| Sherman, Ayanna Walden, Leslie Vrana, Tamara Walden, Lisa Salinas, | ||
| Valerie Clarke, Kelly Cerny, and Paige DuBois; these determined | ||
| athletes were guided by legendary coach Leta Andrews and assistant | ||
| coach Mary Lee Stockton, with additional support provided by | ||
| managers Judith Bryan and Jane Byrne and mascot Miranda Wagner; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In winning the 1990 state title, the Calallen Lady | ||
| Wildcats became a source of great pride to the Corpus Christi | ||
| community, and the 25th anniversary of that unforgettable season is | ||
| indeed a milestone worthy of commemoration; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the members of the 1990 Calallen | ||
| High School girls' basketball team on the 25th anniversary of their | ||
| state championship victory and commend them for their memorable | ||
| achievement; 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. | ||
