H.R. No. 999
R E S O L U T I O N
1-1 WHEREAS, While few athletic teams are able to realize the
1-2 dream of attaining a state championship in their given sport, fewer
1-3 still can marshal the dedication and drive needed to repeatedly
1-4 duplicate such a task; among that elite group is the Bastrop High
1-5 School Lady Bears golf team, which in 1995 earned its third
1-6 consecutive University Interscholastic League (UIL) Class 4A state
1-7 championship; and
1-8 WHEREAS, After racing to an 11-shot lead following the first
1-9 day of competition at Jimmy Clay Golf Course in Austin, the Lady
1-10 Bears held off a determined effort by Andrews High School in the
1-11 second round to take the tournament title by 10 strokes, becoming
1-12 only the ninth golf team in history to win three successive
1-13 championships; and
1-14 WHEREAS, The season's outstanding achievements were the
1-15 result of a total commitment to team excellence by members Amanda
1-16 Workman, Lisa Cervantes, Stephanie Glenn, Jessica Travis, and
1-17 Caitlyn Felder, each of whom gave their finest efforts to claim yet
1-18 another coveted state title for their school; and
1-19 WHEREAS, Coach Marcus Evans labored tirelessly to help his
1-20 young charges fulfill their championship dream and his exceptional
1-21 contributions, combined with those of his players, have truly
1-22 created a dynasty in girls' golf at Bastrop High School; and
1-23 WHEREAS, These exemplary young women are a source of great
1-24 pride to the students and faculty of Bastrop High School as well as
2-1 their many supporters in the community, and their impressive
2-2 achievements are indeed worthy of special legislative recognition;
2-3 now, therefore, be it
2-4 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 74th Texas
2-5 Legislature hereby congratulate the Bastrop High School girls' golf
2-6 team on winning the UIL Class 4A state championship for the third
2-7 consecutive year and extend to the members of the team sincere best
2-8 wishes for continued success in the future; and, be it further
2-9 RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
2-10 prepared for the team members and coaching staff and for prominent
2-11 display at Bastrop High School as an expression of high regard by
2-12 the Texas House of Representatives.
