|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The Plano West High School girls' basketball team | ||
| enjoyed an outstanding 2014-2015 season, claiming a district | ||
| championship and advancing to the regional finals of the University | ||
| Interscholastic League 6A state playoffs; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Playing under the direction of head coach Kristen | ||
| Perry and assistant coach Kristen Grassi, the Lady Wolves finished | ||
| the regular season with a perfect record in league play to capture | ||
| the District 6-6A championship and earn a berth in the state | ||
| playoffs; and | ||
| WHEREAS, After opening postseason play with a dominating | ||
| victory over Fossil Ridge High School, Plano West went on to defeat | ||
| Trinity and Cedar Hill High Schools to set up a regional semifinal | ||
| showdown against the squad from Amarillo High School; there, the | ||
| Lady Wolves took a six-point lead into halftime, and they held off a | ||
| furious second-half rally from their opponents in a tightly | ||
| contested, 52-48 triumph; matching up in the regional finals with | ||
| their district rivals from Flower Mound High School, Plano West | ||
| mounted an impressive comeback in the overtime period but | ||
| ultimately fell by a score of 53-50 to conclude their playoff run; | ||
| and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Lady Wolves finished their notable 2014-2015 | ||
| campaign with an overall record of 30 wins and just 5 losses; the | ||
| success that Plano West realized this season stemmed from their | ||
| team-oriented approach to the game, with valuable contributions | ||
| coming from each member of the roster: Sydney Skinner, Kyrie | ||
| McNeil, Natalie Chou, Morgann Yancey, Callie Owens, Amy Hartleroad, | ||
| Jalyn Hodge, Daria Cosgrove, Justine Montgomery, Erin Parker, and | ||
| Vuye Magalela; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Through skill, hard work, and an unwavering | ||
| commitment to excellence, the Plano West athletes established | ||
| themselves as strong playoff contenders, and their accomplishments | ||
| are a source of pride and inspiration for their school and | ||
| community; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the Plano West High School girls' | ||
| basketball team on its memorable 2014-2015 season and extend to the | ||
| team's players, coaches, and staff sincere best wishes for the | ||
| future; 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. | ||
