| regular season, the Tigers continued to excel in the playoffs, | ||
| dispatching Prairiland, Ponder, Edgewood, Tatum, and Rains High | ||
| Schools to reach the state tournament for the third consecutive | ||
| year; in the semifinals, Gunter easily beat Columbus High School | ||

| finale; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Tigers battled for the crown against | ||
| defending state champion Bushland High School in a rematch of the | ||

| hard-fought game and then went on to claim the next two sets by | ||
| the scores of 25-23 and 25-20 to sweep the match and capture the | ||
| title; the triumph gave Gunter its first volleyball state | ||
| championship and capped off an outstanding year in which the | ||
| squad compiled an overall record of 43 wins and just 6 losses; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Rayanna Mauldin was named the Most Valuable | ||
| Player of the championship match, and Miranda Putnicki and Briley | ||

| Henry, Abby Elmore, Berkeley Caple, Brelee Mauldin, Aubrey | ||
| Walton, Makena Fady, Hanna Rubis, Aubrey Burchfield, Elle | ||
| Whitteker, and Madison Smith; these determined student-athletes | ||
| were guided by head coach Katelyn Gill and assistant coaches | ||
| Mikayla Watson, Leigh Vickery, and Vince Morgan; the team also | ||
| received enthusiastic support from athletic trainer Ryan Barham | ||
| and manager Ryane Spurgin; 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 Tigers | ||
| volleyball team will treasure the memory of this accomplishment | ||
| for the rest of their lives; now, therefore, be it | ||
