|
turned in an outstanding performance during the 2009 regular season |
|
and captured the District 28-4A championship; and |
|
WHEREAS, This district title is a first for the Lady Indians, |
|
who posted a record of nine wins and one tie against their 28-4A |

they head into the postseason as the number-one seed and have |
|
considerable momentum after racking up a total of 17 wins in the |
|
regular season; and |
|
WHEREAS, Superior teamwork was supplemented by valuable |
|
individual performances throughout the year; seniors Emily Gore, |

|
cocaptain Amber Swindle; moreover, valuable contributions have |

|
players to perform to their full potential; this year marks the |
|
third time Coach Venable has led Waxahachie to the playoffs since he |
|
took the helm in 2005; and |
|
WHEREAS, Winning a district championship is the culmination |
|
of countless hours of hard work and dedication, and these talented |
|
student-athletes may reflect proudly on their accomplishments as |
|
they contend for the state title in the playoffs; now, therefore, be |
|
it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
