|
||
| WHEREAS, The baseball team from Beckville High School | ||
| achieved great distinction by capturing the University | ||
| Interscholastic League 3A state crown on June 9, 2018, at Dell | ||
| Diamond in Round Rock; and | ||
| WHEREAS, This history-making victory capped a thrilling run | ||
| through the postseason, during which the Bearcats dispatched teams | ||
| from West Rusk, New Boston, Big Sandy Harmony, and Edgewood High | ||
| Schools, as well as their district rival, White Oak High School; | ||
| after defeating Brock High in the semifinals, the team faced off | ||
| against Clifton High in the title contest; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Bearcats battled hard in a 10-inning | ||
| championship game that tied for the longest in UIL history; | ||
| following a tense back-and-forth from inning to inning, the squad | ||
| entered the 10th tied 4 to 4 with the Clifton Cubs; the Bearcats | ||
| took advantage of an opponent error in the bottom of the frame to | ||
| seal their 5-4 victory, finishing their season with a record of 36-4 | ||
| and winning the state championship for the first time in program | ||
| history; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Demonstrating true athletic excellence, the | ||
| Bearcats received valuable contributions throughout the season | ||
| from each member of the team: Michael Mize, Austin Bryan, Will Tate, | ||
| Trey Lindsay, Zeke Collins, Ethan Harris, Marc McGuire, Clayton | ||
| Burnett, Brandt Harris, Bryce Osborn, Ty Jones, Ben Bridges, and | ||
| John Mills; the team was ably guided by head coach Jason Causey and | ||
| assistant coaches Jason Bridges and Zach Hubbard, and the players | ||
| also received support from manager Brantley Klingler, athletic | ||
| trainer Matt Burke, and statistician Gene Williams; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Winning a state championship represents the | ||
| culmination of countless hours of hard work and an unwavering | ||
| commitment to team play, and the talented student-athletes of the | ||
| Bearcats baseball team may indeed reflect with pride on their | ||
| remarkable accomplishment; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the Beckville High School baseball | ||
| team on capturing the 2018 UIL 3A state title and extend to all | ||
| those associated with the team 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. | ||
