| H.R. No. 220 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The softball team from Hays High School in Buda | ||
| reached the pinnacle of success by winning the 2013 University | ||
| Interscholastic League 4A state championship on June 1 at McCombs | ||
| Field in Austin; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Lady Rebels enjoyed a remarkable run through the | ||
| postseason that included victories over Jefferson, Cedar Park, | ||
| Dripping Springs, Moody, and Leander High Schools to reach the UIL | ||
| State Tournament; in the semifinals, they faced a talented squad | ||
| from Aledo that had won 24 straight games, but Hays scored a | ||
| commanding 8-1 win to set up a championship showdown with Lucas | ||
| Lovejoy; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The title contest was played on a scorching-hot day | ||
| and proved to be a high-scoring back-and-forth game, with Hays | ||
| setting the tone early with a three-run first inning; Lovejoy | ||
| battled back, and the score was tied at 8 after the fifth; in the | ||
| next inning Lovejoy loaded the bases, but Sarah Leal, who pitched | ||
| all seven innings for the Lady Rebels, recorded a key strikeout to | ||
| end the threat; the Hays offense responded with a three-run | ||
| outburst in the final frame to claim the state crown in an 11-8 | ||
| triumph; Hannah Ramsey, who had three hits and the game-winning RBI | ||
| as well as a run-saving catch in center field, was named the Most | ||
| Valuable Player of the tournament final; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Excelling through teamwork, the Lady Rebels also | ||
| received valuable contributions throughout the season from the | ||
| other members of the roster: Traci Green, Addie Vayas, Haleigh | ||
| Madden, Des'ree Wainright, Ashley Manning, Maddy Shannon, Clarissa | ||
| Gonzalez, Brayden Pinckard, Karina Rocha, Kara Davis, Gabi Albarez, | ||
| Angelica Arroyo, Brooke Vasquez, Lizzie Bowne, Aspen Salazar, and | ||
| Michelle Pesina; these dedicated athletes benefited from the | ||
| leadership of head coach Aaron Fuller and assistant coaches Holly | ||
| Long and Allison Castillo, who guided Hays High to an outstanding | ||
| 31-10 record and the first softball state title in the school's | ||
| history; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Through long hours of work and an unwavering | ||
| determination, the members of the Hays High softball team fulfilled | ||
| their long-held goal of becoming state champions, and they may | ||
| reflect with pride on their exceptional accomplishment; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
| Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate the Hays High | ||
| School softball team on winning the UIL 4A state title and extend to | ||
| the team's 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 team as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
