H.R. No. 2092 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The boys' lacrosse team from Highland Park High | ||
School in Dallas furthered its tradition of excellence by winning | ||
the 2023 Texas High School Lacrosse League Class AA state | ||
championship; and | ||
WHEREAS, On their journey to the title, the Scots defeated | ||
Houston Memorial High School 13-6 in the regional round of the | ||
playoffs and then recorded a thrilling 11-10 victory over The | ||
Episcopal School of Dallas in the semifinals to punch their ticket | ||
to the championship game; and | ||
WHEREAS, On May 14, top-seeded Highland Park battled The | ||
Woodlands for the state crown; demonstrating tremendous resolve, | ||
the Scots erased an 8-5 deficit with a flurry of second half scoring | ||
to take a 10-9 lead; the players continued their offensive attack | ||
down the stretch, sealing the outcome with consecutive goals in the | ||
waning minutes; triumphing by the final score of 14-10, the Scots | ||
celebrated the program's 12th lacrosse state title, the most of any | ||
team in Texas, and finished the year with an outstanding 20-4 | ||
record; and | ||
WHEREAS, Over the course of the season, the Scots received | ||
valuable contributions from each member of the roster; these | ||
talented student-athletes benefited from the able direction of head | ||
coach Mike Pressler, who produced a state title in his inaugural | ||
year at the helm of the team; and | ||
WHEREAS, With their 2023 championship victory, the Highland | ||
Park Scots have burnished their reputation as a lacrosse | ||
powerhouse, and all those associated with the team may reflect with | ||
pride on a job well done; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate the Highland Park High School boys' | ||
lacrosse team on winning the 2023 THSLL Class AA state championship | ||
and extend to the players, coaches, and staff sincere best wishes | ||
for continued success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the Scots as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
