H.R. No. 804 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The Waxahachie High School boys' basketball team | ||
enjoyed an outstanding 2020-2021 campaign, advancing all the way to | ||
the Region II championship game of the University Interscholastic | ||
League 6A playoffs; and | ||
WHEREAS, During the regular season, the Indians racked up 16 | ||
wins against just two losses and claimed the District 11-6A crown; | ||
they continued to excel in the playoffs, dispatching Belton and | ||
Rockwall High Schools and recording a commanding 78-67 victory over | ||
Killeen Ellison in the regional quarterfinals; and | ||
WHEREAS, Waxahachie took the floor against Cypress Woods High | ||
in the regional semifinals, and once again, the Indians were | ||
unstoppable; asserting their dominance from the opening tip-off to | ||
the final buzzer, they triumphed 84-50 to reach the 6A regional | ||
finale for the first time in program history; that contest featured | ||
a rematch with the Duncanville team that Waxahachie had defeated in | ||
an overtime game in January; the Indians turned in a valiant effort | ||
in the playoff showdown, delivering a furious second-half rally, | ||
but ultimately fell short to end the year with a 20-3 record; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Indians received valuable contributions over | ||
the course of the season from each member of the roster: D. J. | ||
Pigford, Jordan Davis, Dmarion Callier, V'Zarion Roberson, Jalen | ||
Lake, Prince Banks, Matthew Green, Kambren Drummer, Preston Hodge, | ||
Christian O'Donell, C. J. Noland, Montez Young, Jacob Watson, | ||
Darkaun King, and JH'Marques Head; these determined | ||
student-athletes were ably guided by head coach Greg Gober and his | ||
assistants, Colton Gober, Anthony Dees, and Cody Heil; additional | ||
support was provided by managers Ryan Butler, Johnny D'Avila, and | ||
Stevie Honrud; and | ||
WHEREAS, The talented and hardworking members of the | ||
Waxahachie High School boys' basketball team set a new standard of | ||
achievement with their thrilling playoff run, and they are a source | ||
of great pride for their fellow students and their many supporters | ||
in the community; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate the Waxahachie High School boys' | ||
basketball team on its success during the 2020-2021 season 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. | ||
Ellzey | ||
