WHEREAS, Bringing a memorable season to a triumphant close, |
|
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 |
|
fourth since 2002; and |
|
WHEREAS, In proving itself the state's finest 2A team, Brock |
|

|
Kambrie Shoush, Kayce Gilman, Payton Shoush, Dayla Jones, Hattie |
|
Smith, Kenisha Harris, Haley Aaron, Paige Parliament, and Linsey |
|
Hays; eight of the Lady Eagles received all-district honors this |
|
season, and Ms. Harris was named the most valuable player of the |
|
state tournament; and |
|
WHEREAS, These talented student-athletes were guided by head |
|
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 |
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Brock High School girls' |

|
state championship and commend the players, coaches, and staff for |

|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for the team as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
