    1-4  Class 2A basketball championship; and
    1-5        WHEREAS, Although few athletic programs can attain the goal

   1-14        WHEREAS, Outstanding leadership and guidance were provided by
   1-15  head coach Mark Meyers, who has built the Vanguard High School
   1-16  program into a basketball dynasty, and he was ably supported in his
   1-17  efforts by assistant coach Darin Tompkins; and
   1-18        WHEREAS, This exemplary group of young women with their
   1-19  coaches and staff have been a tremendous source of pride to the
   1-20  students and faculty at Vanguard High School and their many
   1-21  supporters in the community, and their exceptional achievements
   1-22  truly merit special legislative recognition; now, therefore, be it
   1-23        RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 74th Texas
   1-24  Legislature hereby congratulate the Vanguard High School Lady
