 1-2     team has again proven itself to be among the state's elite hoops

 1-9           WHEREAS, Lanier's stellar season ended one win short of the
1-10     coveted state crown, but the team won the respect of all who

1-17     team; and

1-19     coaches and staff, are a source of tremendous pride to the students
1-20     and faculty at Lanier High School, as well as their many supporters
1-21     in the community, and it is indeed appropriate that they receive
1-22     special legislative recognition at this time; now, therefore, be it
1-23           RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 77th Texas

 2-4     sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
 2-5           RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
 2-6     prepared for the Lanier High School boys' basketball team as an
