|
|
WHEREAS, The baseball team of Foy H. Moody High School in |
|
|
Corpus Christi continued its tradition of excellence during the |
|
|
2009 season, claiming the District 30-4A title and ultimately |
|
|
playing for the 4A state championship; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, After compiling a perfect 12-0 record against their |
|
|
district opponents, the Trojans advanced through the playoffs, |
|
|
demonstrating the skill and spirited play that made them the No. 1 |
|
|
ranked team in Texas and one of the top-rated squads in the nation; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, With its victory over Calallen High School in the |
|
|
regional finals, Moody headed for the state tournament for the |
|
|
sixth time in the past nine seasons; a win over Fort Worth Arlington |
|
|
Heights in its semifinal matchup earned the team a place in the |
|
|
title game, where the Trojans fell just short of claiming the |
|
|
school's third state baseball championship; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Moody High's exceptional record of 37 wins and just |
|
|
4 losses came as a result of the contributions made by each member |
|
|
of the roster: Marcus Villanueva, Christian Garza-Gallegos, Rudy |
|
|
Flores, J. J. Zapata, Michael Franco, Eric Moreno, Jeremy Olivo, |
|
|

|
|
Mungia, Michael Chapa, Michael Salinas, Chris Garza, Orlando |
|
|
Perales, Matthew McGraw, Gabriel Grande, Raymond Mungia, Jr., |
|
|
Fernando Hernandez, Johnny Silvas, and Gerardo Gutierrez; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, These admirable student-athletes were guided by |
|
|
head coach Corky Gallegos and received vital support from Trojan |
|
|
coaches Richard Diaz, Joe Curiel, Mike Medina, and Marco Medina as |
|
|
well as batboy Trey Sanchez and statistician Richard Rodriguez; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The dedication of the Trojan players resulted in a |
|
|
memorable and exciting season that thrilled their many fans, and |
|
|
their outstanding performances will be a source of inspiration for |
|
|
Moody High teams in the years ahead; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate the Moody High |
|
|
School baseball team on its achievements during the 2009 season and |
|
|

|
|

|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|

|
