SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 950

WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to recognize Danielle Heithoff, a senior at Bullard High School, who has been named Player of the Year on the Tyler Morning Telegraph 2009 All-East Texas Girls Basketball Team; and

WHEREAS, Born in Minnesota, Danielle Heithoff played for her high school team in the city of Rochester before moving to Texas with her family in 2008; she soon gained recognition as a valuable member of the Bullard Lady Panthers, being awarded district most valuable player and All-East Texas Newcomer of the Year honors in her junior year; and

WHEREAS, During the 2008-2009 season, she continued to build her reputation as an elite power forward and dominant all-around player; under the able guidance of head coach Greg Gay, she helped lead Bullard to a 30-4 record while averaging nearly 20 points per game; she will continue her basketball career in the fall, when she becomes a member of the team at Lamar University; and

WHEREAS, Winning the All-East Texas Player of the Year honor is a noteworthy achievement and a fitting end to Danielle Heithoff's celebrated tenure in Texas high school basketball, and she may indeed reflect with pride on her outstanding athletic performance with the Lady Panthers; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 81st Legislature, hereby congratulate Danielle Heithoff on being named Player of the Year on the Tyler Morning Telegraph 2009 All-East Texas Girls Basketball Team and extend to her sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
