| the 2023 University Interscholastic League Volleyball State | ||
| Tournament; and | ||
| WHEREAS, After losing only one regular-season match and | ||
| claiming the district title, the Grizzlies surged through the | ||
| playoffs, besting Houston Nimitz, Langham Creek, Bridgeland, | ||
| Sachse, and Tomball Memorial High Schools to punch their ticket to | ||
| the state tournament in Garland; demonstrating great resolve after | ||
| falling behind 2-0 in the semifinals against Prosper, Grand Oaks | ||
| roared back to claim the next three games for a thrilling five-set | ||
| victory; and | ||
| WHEREAS, On November 18, Grand Oaks battled Cinco Ranch High | ||
| School of Katy for the 6A crown; dominating at the net and from the | ||
| service line, the Grizzlies staged key rallies to sweep their | ||
| opponent in straight sets, 25-22, 25-23, 25-13; with the victory, | ||
| Grand Oaks brought home the first state title in program history and | ||
| closed out the 2023 campaign with a remarkable 50-1 record; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Grand Oaks was led by Halle Thompson, the Most | ||
| Valuable Player of the title match, who was joined on the 6A | ||
| All-Tournament Team by Jaela Auguste and Samara Coleman; the | ||
| Grizzlies also received valuable contributions throughout the | ||

| Jayla Davis, A'talia Kelly, Carly Johnson, Cali Reece, Jonaida | ||
| Donowa, Hailey Lotspeich, Brookelynn Anderson, Brooklynn Sheridan, | ||
| and Julia Flessas; these talented student-athletes were ably guided | ||
| by head coach Morgan Rogers and assistant coaches Jason Clair, | ||
| Shaun Anderson, and Madison Hardgrave; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Winning a state championship represents the | ||
| culmination of countless hours of hard work and an unwavering | ||
| commitment to excellence, and the Grand Oaks Grizzlies 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 | ||
