H.R. No. 927 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Bringing an unforgettable season to a triumphant | ||
close, the Duncanville High School boys' basketball team captured | ||
the 2019 University Interscholastic League 6A state championship on | ||
March 9 at the Alamodome in San Antonio; and | ||
WHEREAS, The road to Duncanville's first state title in 12 | ||
years got off to a rocky start, as the Panthers suffered seven | ||
losses early in the year, but they turned things around beginning in | ||
late December; embarking on an impressive 25-game winning streak, | ||
the team won each of its remaining regular season contests and then | ||
made a thrilling run through the playoffs, recording commanding | ||
victories over Waxahachie, Hebron, DeSoto, Trinity, Guyer, and | ||
Galena Park North Shore High Schools to advance to the 6A title game | ||
against Klein Forest; and | ||
WHEREAS, In a closely fought matchup that kept spectators on | ||
the edge of their seats into the final seconds, Klein Forest held | ||
the lead during the first half, but the Panthers staged a comeback | ||
after intermission, as they had done in many of their other playoff | ||
games; they outscored Klein Forest by eight points in the third | ||
quarter to claim the lead and then stayed strong down the stretch, | ||
winning by a final score of 73-69; and | ||
WHEREAS, Excelling with a true team effort, the Panthers | ||
received valuable contributions throughout the year from each | ||
member of the roster: Braylon Crosby, Dage Lyons, Keyaun Hoskin, | ||
Ja'Bryant Hill, Jahmi'us Ramsey, Antoneo Pavia, Micah Peavy, Damon | ||
Nicholas, Christian Mitchell, Miles Bennett, Jayden Johnson-Blair, | ||
Robert Banks, Derek Luna, Omair Abor, C. J. Ford, and Davion Sykes; | ||
these dedicated athletes benefited from the guidance of head coach | ||
David Peavy and assistant coaches Jacoby Brown, Neiman Ford, Daniel | ||
Moore, Corey Johnson, and Kevin Woods; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through hard work and an unwavering resolve to give | ||
their very best, the members of the Duncanville Panthers basketball | ||
team have proven themselves the finest 6A team in the Lone Star | ||
State, and they may indeed reflect with pride on a job well done; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate the Duncanville High School boys' | ||
basketball team on winning the 2019 UIL 6A state championship and | ||
extend to all those associated with the team sincere best wishes for | ||
continued success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the Panthers as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
Davis of Dallas | ||
