|
||
WHEREAS, The Danbury High School Lady Panthers softball team | ||
captured the University Interscholastic League 2A state | ||
championship with a victory in the title game on June 4, 2011, in | ||
Austin; and | ||
WHEREAS, In the course of this memorable season, the Lady | ||
Panthers came to epitomize teamwork, dedication, and skill, as they | ||
finished with an outstanding record of 39 wins and just 3 losses and | ||
sailed through the playoffs, scoring a total of 74 runs while | ||
holding their opponents to just 13; and | ||
WHEREAS, Earning special recognition for their performance | ||
in the state tournament were seniors Britiany Bailey, Macy Peltier, | ||
Kristin Yaeger, Shelby Scott, and Ashley Noak, all of whom were | ||
named to the All-Tournament Team; in addition, sophomore Kaylee | ||
Garner was another All-Tournament honoree, and she received the | ||
championship game's Most Valuable Player award after throwing 15 | ||
strikeouts in the title-winning victory over Central Heights High | ||
of Nacogdoches; and | ||
WHEREAS, Excelling with a true team effort, the Lady Panthers | ||
also received valuable contributions throughout the year from the | ||
other members of the roster: Lillie Box, Cassidy Munson, Abbie Box, | ||
Megan Bang, Kelsey Sellers, Meagan Harvey, Taylor Vrazel, Monica | ||
Brown, and Lana Townsend; and | ||
WHEREAS, These determined athletes were guided by head coach | ||
Melissa Hansen and assistant coach Tim Ender, and they also | ||
benefited from the support of managers Makenna Peltier, Bela | ||
Elizondo, Katie Staff, Kaitlin Dorsett, and Kara Williams, athletic | ||
trainer Gregg Bautsch, and athletic director Jimmy Thomas; and | ||
WHEREAS, To attain the season-long goal of becoming state | ||
champions, each of the Danbury players was called on to perform at | ||
the top of her game, and the team's success is the culmination of | ||
countless hours of hard work; the 2011 state softball title is the | ||
second for Danbury High as well as for Coach Hansen, who led the | ||
team to the championship in 2004; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Lady Panthers have distinguished themselves as | ||
the finest 2A softball team in the Lone Star State, and in so doing, | ||
they have brought recognition to their school and become a source of | ||
pride for their classmates and for residents of Danbury and | ||
Brazoria County; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate the Danbury | ||
High School Lady Panthers softball team on winning the UIL 2A state | ||
championship and extend to the team's players, coaches, and staff | ||
sincere best wishes for continued 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. |
