R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Richmond's Lamar Little League All-Stars are to be
congratulated on their outstanding season and commended for earning
a berth in the 2003 Little League World Series, held August 15-24,
2003, in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and these young
ballplayers will undoubtedly represent the Lone Star State with
pride and dignity; and
WHEREAS, Lamar completed a five-game sweep of the Southwest
Regional Tournament by overcoming a 3-2 deficit to defeat Bryant
Little League of Arkansas 5-3 at Marvin Norcross Stadium in Waco;
this come-from-behind victory, decided by Brian Foster's three-run
homer in the bottom of the third inning, gave the Lamar All-Stars
their first-ever appearance in the Little League World Series; and
WHEREAS, Schooled in the fundamentals by team manager Jim
Michalek, the Lamar All-Stars epitomized sportsmanship and
teamwork throughout their season; Coach Michalek was ably assisted
by fellow coaches Tim Hollek and Tom Stoudt, both of whom greatly
contributed to the team's success; and
WHEREAS, Team members include Eli Sepulveda, Brady Rodgers,
Brandon Hollek, Marcus Martinez, Randol Grichuk, Jimmy Michalek,
Chris Smith, Brian Foster, Cody Robinson, Robert Psenka, Wayne
Willis, and Garrett Stoudt; and
WHEREAS, Earning the right to play in the Little League World
Series is a tremendous achievement earned through teamwork, superb
athleticism, and a tough competitive spirit, and these outstanding
young ballplayers truly deserve special recognition for this
accomplishment; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby congratulate Richmond's
Lamar Little League All-Stars and their coaches for advancing to
the 2003 Little League World Series and extend to them 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.
