| H.R. No. 4 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The baseball team from Magnolia West High School | ||
| closed out an unforgettable season by winning the 2023 University | ||
| Interscholastic League 5A state championship; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Following an outstanding regular season in which | ||
| they lost just four games on their way to winning the District 21-5A | ||
| championship, the Mustangs carried their stellar play into the | ||
| postseason with consecutive two-game sweeps of Killeen, | ||
| Pflugerville, Lake Belton, and Barbers Hill High Schools; after | ||
| losing the opener against Montgomery Lake Creek, Magnolia West | ||
| responded with a 4-2 win, and the team went on to secure its spot in | ||
| the state tournament with a 6-2 triumph in the decisive game of the | ||
| series; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Mustangs shut out Frisco Reedy High School in | ||
| the semifinals by a score of 3-0 to easily advance; competing for | ||
| the crown on June 10 at Dell Diamond in Round Rock, the Magnolia | ||
| West players took the field against Argyle High School in what | ||
| proved to be a nail-biting showdown; the Mustangs snapped a | ||
| scoreless deadlock with a bases-clearing single in the top of the | ||
| sixth, and clutch pitching and defense the rest of the way allowed | ||
| the team to clinch a 3-2 victory and to take home the first baseball | ||
| state championship trophy in school history; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Excelling with a true team effort, the Mustangs | ||
| received valuable contributions throughout the year from each | ||
| member of the roster, and the players benefited from the guidance of | ||
| head coach Travis Earles and his staff; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Winning a state championship represents the | ||
| culmination of countless hours of hard work and an unwavering | ||
| commitment to excellence, and these talented student-athletes will | ||
| treasure the memory of this accomplishment for the rest of their | ||
| lives; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
| Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby congratulate the Magnolia | ||
| West High School baseball team on winning the 2023 UIL 5A 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 team as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
| Bell of Montgomery | ||
