H.R. No. 218 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The Crosby High School team of Jacob Gonzales and | ||
Ashley Lance won the 4A title at the 2013 University | ||
Interscholastic League Cross-Examination Debate State Meet, which | ||
took place March 11 through 16 in Austin; and | ||
WHEREAS, Facing the top competitors in Texas, Mr. Gonzales | ||
and Ms. Lance advanced through the preliminary and elimination | ||
rounds without losing a single match; in the championship final | ||
against the team from the Liberal Arts and Science Academy of | ||
Austin, the duo turned in another impressive performance to claim a | ||
3-0 victory and the state crown; the win was especially satisfying | ||
because these two dedicated students had finished in second place | ||
at the 2012 state meet; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mr. Gonzales and Ms. Lance benefited from the able | ||
guidance of head coach Jason Courville and assistant coach Stephen | ||
Garrett, and the team's outstanding showing furthered the school's | ||
tradition of excellence in debate competition; this marks the third | ||
time in a dozen years that Crosby High students have won the | ||
cross-examination state title, and contestants from the school have | ||
advanced to the National Forensic League national tournament during | ||
seven of the past eight years; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through hard work and exceptional skill in the art | ||
of debate and public speaking, Jacob Gonzales and Ashley Lance have | ||
brought great distinction to themselves and to their school, and | ||
they may reflect with pride on their notable achievement; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Jacob | ||
Gonzales and Ashley Lance on winning the 4A championship at the 2013 | ||
UIL Cross-Examination Debate State Meet and extend to them sincere | ||
best wishes for continued success and a bright future; and, be it | ||
further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Mr. Gonzales and Ms. Lance as an expression of high | ||
regard by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
