By: Gutierrez | H.R. No. 975 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The Judson High School girls' basketball team closed | ||
out an unforgettable year in triumphant fashion by winning the 2019 | ||
University Interscholastic League 6A state championship on March 2 | ||
at the Alamodome; and | ||
WHEREAS, After claiming the district crown during the regular | ||
season, the Lady Rockets dispatched playoff foes Austin, Northside | ||
O'Connor, Austin Westlake, and Laredo United High Schools to reach | ||
the 6A Region IV final; prevailing 71-44 over Northside Clark High | ||
School, Judson earned its third consecutive trip to the state | ||
tournament in the UIL's highest classification, the first time a | ||
San Antonio-area team has done so; and | ||
WHEREAS, Determined to reverse the heartbreak of 2018, when | ||
their title bid fell short by just four points, the Judson players | ||
opened the 2019 state tournament with a 58-47 semifinal victory | ||
over Allen High School; the team then battled DeSoto High for the | ||
crown in a hard-fought contest that saw Desoto take the lead in the | ||
third quarter; showing tremendous heart down the stretch, the Lady | ||
Rockets scored two clutch baskets and two free throws in the final | ||
two minutes to win by a final score of 49-46; with the victory, | ||
Judson became the first local school to claim a girls' basketball | ||
state championship; and | ||
WHEREAS, Judson was led by championship game Most Valuable | ||
Player Corina Carter, who scored 20 points, and she was joined on | ||
the 6A All-Tournament Team by Kierra Sanderlin and Kyra White; the | ||
Lady Rockets also received valuable contributions throughout the | ||
2018-2019 campaign from the other members of the roster: Keanalei | ||
Aukuso, Jonmecia Baskin, Elena Blanding, Ziyya Brown, Teanna | ||
Huggins, Chriresha King, Elisha Mackey, Tiffany McGarity, and | ||
Tianna Rome; these dedicated athletes were ably guided by head | ||
coach Triva Corrales and assistant coaches Tosha Kennedy, William | ||
McKethan, and Tamara Torru, and the squad received vital support | ||
from director of athletics Ryanne DuPree; and | ||
WHEREAS, Winning a state championship represents the | ||
culmination of countless hours of hard work and an unwavering | ||
commitment to excellence, and the members of the Judson Lady | ||
Rockets basketball team will treasure the memory of this | ||
accomplishment for many years to come; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate the Judson High School girls' | ||
basketball team on winning the 2019 UIL 6A state championship and | ||
extend to the team's players, coaches, and staff 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. |
