WHEREAS, The boys' basketball team from Clarendon High School |
|
|
furthered the school's tradition of athletic excellence by winning |
|
|
the 2022 University Interscholastic League 2A title to retain its |
|
|
mantle as state champion; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Following a stellar performance in the regular |
|
|
season, the Broncos entered the playoffs on a wave of momentum and |
|
|
dispatched Sunray, Vega, Gruver, New Home, and Christoval High |
|
|
Schools to punch their ticket to the state tournament for the sixth |
|
|
time in program history; there, Clarendon toppled LaRue LaPoynor |
|
|
69-60 in the semifinals to advance to the championship contest; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, On March 12 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, |
|
|
Clarendon took the floor against previously undefeated Lipan High |
|
|
School; after trailing by eight points at halftime, the Broncos |
|
|
ignited an impressive run in the second half, outscoring their |
|
|
opponents 49-27; emerging victorious by the final score of 65-51, |
|
|
the Broncos hoisted the championship trophy for the second straight |
|
|
season and closed out a storybook year with an overall record of 31 |
|
|
wins and only two losses; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Clarendon was led by championship game Most Valuable |
|
|
Player LaMarcus Penigar, and he was joined on the 2A All-Tournament |
|
|
Team by Cayden D'Costa and Jmaury Davis; the Broncos also received |
|
|
valuable contributions throughout the year from the other members |
|
|

|
|
McAnear, Tyler Harper, Kaleb Bolin, Anthony Ceniceros, Mason Sims, |
|
|
Levi Gates, Colton Caudle, Reagan Wade, and Grant Haynes; these |
|
|
determined athletes were ably guided by head coach Boston Hudson |
|
|
and assistant coach Alton Gaines; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, By winning back-to-back state titles, the Clarendon |
|
|
Broncos have burnished their reputation as an emerging basketball |
|
|
powerhouse, and they may indeed reflect with pride on a job well |
|
|
done; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Clarendon High School boys' |
|
|
basketball team on winning the 2022 UIL 2A state championship 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. |
