SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 4

	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to 
recognize the Thorndale High School baseball team for winning the 
Class 1A state championship title at Dell Diamond in Round Rock 
on June 9, 2005; and
	WHEREAS, The Thorndale Bulldogs came into the Class 1A 
playoffs with great determination to capture the state title 
after losing in the regional finals last year; after a great 
start in the championship game, the Bulldogs saw their 5-0 lead 
shrink during the middle innings as the Harleton High School 
Wildcats worked their way back into the game and pulled even in 
the bottom of the seventh inning; and
	WHEREAS, The Bulldogs then put together their biggest 
two-out rally of the season as tournament Most Valuable Player 
Jeffrey Kiesling delivered an RBI double that sparked a five-run 
inning that helped the Bulldogs to a 10-5 victory; and
	WHEREAS, The Bulldogs were the favorites coming into the 
state finals this year, and they did not disappoint their fans, 
as they took their first state championship title since 1996; 
each member of the team displayed outstanding teamwork and the 
discipline instilled in them by head coach Scott Holder and 
assistant coaches Robert Lindemann and Kelly Kuhl; and
	WHEREAS, The champion athletes are Victor Reyes, Ross Towery,
Austin Falke, Chris Gerren, Jeff Kiesling, Kalen Revia,
Wade Gilchrist, Cirilio Reyes, Miles Grisham, Ryan Lindemann, 
Jon Laffere, Josh Culp, Kevin Zuehlke, Colby Hilton, Jacob Loftin,
Grant Griffin, Dylan Schwarz, Eric Carrazales, and Dylan Piper; 
and
	WHEREAS, With a state championship title and a season 
record of 33-5, the Bulldogs have much reason to celebrate, and 
Thorndale High School and members of the Thorndale community can 
be justifiably proud of their baseball team; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
79th Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate the 
Thorndale High School baseball team on winning the Class 1A state 
championship title and commend the players and coaches for their 
outstanding achievements; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared as a 
token of esteem from the Texas Senate.
                                                                           Ogden
