By: Bell of Montgomery | 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. |
