WHEREAS, The Lady Jaguars basketball team from Summit High |
|
|
School in Mansfield defeated the squad from Nimitz High School to |
|
|
claim the University Interscholastic League 5A state title on March |
|
|
7, 2009; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This championship victory capped a spectacular |
|
|
season, during which the Lady Jaguars racked up 34 wins and only 4 |
|
|
losses, and it marks the first time in school history that Summit |
|
|
High has ended the season as state champion; the triumph was made |
|
|
all the more notable by the fact that the Lady Jaguars were |
|
|
underdogs to the top-ranked Nimitz team, which came into the title |
|
|
contest with a 30-game winning streak; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Summit's scoring attack was led by graduating senior |
|
|
Brandy "Starr" Crawford, who tallied 14 points and grabbed 12 |
|
|
rebounds on her way to winning the title game MVP honors; junior |
|
|
Breanna Harris teamed up with Ms. Crawford to slow the Nimitz |
|
|
offense, while junior Amy Moody scored 11 points to help Summit High |
|
|
claim the 5A crown; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Winning with a total team effort, the Lady Jaguars |
|
|
also received valuable contributions from the other members of the |
|
|
squad in the course of the 2008-2009 season; the roster includes |
|
|
Ashley Eli, Heather Phares, Paisley Campbell, Alisha Filmore, |
|
|
Taylor Hooker, Breonna Tolliver, Lauren Martin, Brykia Sims, and |
|
|
Loren McDaniel; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Head coach Tammy Lusinger and varsity assistant Greg |
|
|
Peters provided the Lady Jaguars with able guidance, sharing their |
|
|
expertise in basketball fundamentals and inspiring the players to |
|
|
reach their full potential; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Winning a state championship represents the |
|
|
culmination of countless hours of hard work and an enduring |
|
|
commitment to excellence, and these talented student-athletes will |
|
|
carry the memory of this accomplishment with them for years to come; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Summit High School Lady Jaguars |
|
|
basketball team on winning the 2009 University Interscholastic |
|
|

|
|
and staff sincere best wishes for continued 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. |
