WHEREAS, In a season-long demonstration of teamwork and |
|
|
determination, the 2009 Lyford High School softball team claimed |
|
|
district, bidistrict, and area championships and advanced to the |
|
|
regional semifinal round of the University Interscholastic League |
|
|
playoffs; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Lady Bulldogs turned in a solid performance |
|
|
during the regular season to win the 32-3A district crown and |
|
|
received a first-round bye in the postseason; they then matched up |
|
|
with Pearsall High School and triumphed in a dramatic three-game |
|
|
series to become area champs; a victory over the team from Ingleside |
|
|
High School earned the Lyford players a spot in the regional |
|
|
semifinals, where they ultimately fell to Sweeny High School; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Finishing with an overall record of 26 wins and 9 |
|
|
losses, the Lady Bulldogs proved that they could compete with the |
|
|
other top 3A teams in the Lone Star State, and they may look with |
|
|
optimism toward next season, when all but two of this year's players |
|
|
will return to once again pursue the state title; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Relying on a true team effort during the 2009 |
|
|
campaign, Lyford received vital contributions from each member of |
|
|
the roster: Michelle Romo, Alex Sauceda, Marissa Chavez, Lexi |
|
|
Lopez, Nanette Salinas, Maria Lopez, Annie Garcia, Jackie Esparza, |
|
|
Krystal Rodriguez, Renee Chavez, Jillian Flores, Rebecca Mendez, |
|
|
Katrina Zamorano, Marlena Rivera, and Miranda Perez; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, These skilled athletes were guided by head coach |
|
|
Eloy Perez, who completed his first year at the helm of the Lady |
|
|
Bulldogs in 2009; essential input was also provided by assistant |
|
|
coaches Lyrissa Molina and Petey Garcia; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Inspired by their many ardent supporters, the Lyford |
|
|
players and coaches combined for an exceptional season, and the |
|
|
team's spirited performances on the ball field were a source of |
|
|
great pride in the local community; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Lyford High School Lady |
|
|
Bulldogs softball team on its achievements during the 2009 season |
|
|
and extend sincere best wishes to the players and coaches 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. |
