team achieved a long-sought goal by winning the 2003 UIL Class A, 
Division I, state championship; and
	WHEREAS, The Flyerettes took to the floor determined to win 
the school's first championship; the players' unyielding will to

crown and complete the 2002-2003 campaign with a record of 32-6; and
	WHEREAS, The season's outstanding accomplishments were a 
result of total dedication to the team concept by players Ashley 
Adair, Sha Shead, Sam Tobin, Rebecca Handley, Penny Morris, Pam 
Williams, Courtney Shead, Jessica Bundy, and Sarah Hilton, who was 
voted most valuable player for her efforts; and
	WHEREAS, Head coach Curtis Corley provided his charges with 
exceptional leadership and inspiration, enabling them to realize 
their championship dream, and he was ably supported in his efforts 
by assistant coach Dale Burk; and
	WHEREAS, These outstanding student-athletes, with their 
coaches and staff, are a source of tremendous pride to all those 
associated with La Rue La Poynor High School, and it is indeed 
appropriate that the team receive special legislative recognition 
at this time; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate the members of the La Rue La Poynor 
High School girls' basketball team on winning the 2003 UIL Class A, 
Division I, state championship and extend to them sincere best
