|
|
|
WHEREAS, By winning each of its 40 games in the 2006-2007 |
|
|
season and capturing the Class 5A state title, the Lady |
|
|
Yellowjackets basketball team of Rockwall High School has earned an |
|
|
exalted place in the annals of Texas high school sports; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The culmination of this perfect campaign came with |
|
|
Rockwall's victory over Cy-Fair High School in the state |
|
|
championship game on March 3, 2007, a showdown that pitted two |
|
|
previously unbeaten schools; at the end of regulation play, the |
|
|
teams were knotted at 48, but with clutch play in the closing |
|
|
minutes of overtime, the Yellowjackets emerged with a 59-54 victory |
|
|
and a legacy that will stand for many years to come; only six |
|
|
previous girls' teams in Texas have gone unbeaten through an entire |
|
|
season, and only two have equaled Rockwall's record of 40-0; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Rockwall has been building toward this achievement |
|
|
for several years; the team has reached the regional tournament at |
|
|
Baylor University each of the past three seasons, winning it twice; |
|
|
in 2006, the Lady Yellowjackets made it all the way to the state |
|
|
championship game but fell to Plano West to finish as runner-up; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In achieving the pinnacle of success in 2007, |
|
|
Rockwall relied on outstanding performances from each member of the |
|
|
team and trumped its opponents with a combination of offensive |
|
|
firepower, tenacious defense, and an undeniable will to win; the |
|
|
players were schooled in the finer points of technique and strategy |
|
|
by head coach Jill McDill, who has shaped Rockwall High School into |
|
|
a girls' basketball powerhouse that is poised for further glory; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Exhibiting tremendous skill and dedication, the |
|
|
Lady Yellowjackets have established a remarkable record of |
|
|
achievement in Texas high school athletics and won the respect of |
|
|
sports fans throughout the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Rockwall High School Lady |
|
|
Yellowjackets basketball team on posting a perfect season and |
|
|
winning the Class 5A state title and extend best wishes to the |
|
|
players, coaches, and staff for future 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. |
