WHEREAS, The Columbia High School Lady Necks captured the |
|
|
2006 3A state softball championship, making history by bringing |
|
|
home the first-ever state title for their school; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Under the guidance of head coach Shelly Murphy, the |
|
|
Lady Necks came to epitomize teamwork and sportsmanship as they |
|
|
finished their season with a spectacular 37-1 record, landed |
|
|
members on the state all-tournament team, captured the top |
|
|
individual honor of Tournament MVP, and earned the coveted state |
|
|
championship trophy; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This outstanding team won 37 straight games as they |
|
|
dominated preseason and district contests; the Lady Necks defeated |
|
|
Barbers Hill 4-0 in the state semifinals and took the championship |
|
|
with a 5-2 win over Van in a game fans will always remember; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This team, which had only two senior players, set a |
|
|
goal early in the season to return to Austin and win the state |
|
|
championship, and the players never faltered in their mission; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Achieving such a lofty ambition required each of the |
|
|
team's talented athletes to perform at the top of her game, and this |
|
|
triumph is an apt reflection of the team's competitive spirit and |
|
|
the members' heart and desire to be champions, and it is an |
|
|
appropriate culmination of many hours of hard work and training; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, These young champions have distinguished themselves |
|
|
as formidable competitors, and in doing so they have brought great |
|
|
pride and recognition to the Columbia-Brazoria Independent School |
|
|
District, to their communities and the fans who always believed in |
|
|
them, and to all the people of Brazoria County; now, therefore, be |
|
|
it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
|
