|
|
the Brock High School girls' basketball team claimed the 2009 |
|

University Interscholastic League 2A state championship with a |
|
|
victory in the title game on March 7; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Matching up against the team from Woodville High |
|
|
School, the Brock Lady Eagles combined relentless defense with a |

high-powered scoring attack to build a double-digit lead in the |
|
|
first half and then went on to register a commanding 61-32 win; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The 2008-2009 Lady Eagles carried on their school's |
|
|
impressive winning tradition; Brock has now made 15 appearances in |
|

the state tournament, and this year's championship was the school's |
|

|
|
coach Skip Townsend and assistant coaches Chance Westmoreland and |
|
|
Sammye Townsend, who provided the team with the skills, strategy, |
|
|
and inspiration that took them to the top; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Winning a state title is the result of countless |
|
|
hours of hard work and an enduring commitment to excellence, and the |
|
|
members of the Lady Eagles basketball team may take justifiable |
|
|
pride in this exceptional achievement; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
