|
WHEREAS, The baseball team of C. H. Yoe High School in Cameron |
|
brought the 2011 season to a triumphant close by winning the |
|
University Interscholastic League 2A state championship with a |
|
victory in the title game on June 9; and |
|
WHEREAS, After a 6-0 win over Bushland in the state |
|
tournament semifinals, the Yoemen took the field against Central |
|
Heights High School of Nacogdoches in the 2A final; the team |
|
exploded for five runs in the second inning and added to their lead |
|
in the fourth and fifth innings to post a 7-3 triumph and claim the |
|
school's first baseball state championship; and |
|
WHEREAS, Leading the way for Yoe was Zach Brashear, who |
|
pitched a three-hit shutout in the semifinal and then continued his |
|
excellent play in the title game, racking up three hits and coming |
|
in as a reliever in the fifth inning to help secure the final outs of |
|
the team's unforgettable season; in recognition of his performance, |
|
he was named the tournament's most valuable player, while John |
|
Rinn, Ty Morgan, Jarrett Beckhusen, and Michael Evan also made the |
|
All-Tournament team; and |
|
WHEREAS, Head coach John Broussard and assistant coaches Pete |
|
Magre and Chris Reue also received valuable contributions |
|
throughout the year from the other members of the roster: Adam |
|
Charanza, Justin Pratt, Tyler Sapp, Colton Shelton, Jake Young, |
|
Dylan Riola, Justin Sapp, Thomas Rinn, Josh Smitherman, Jason |
|
Kopriva, Juan Casillas, Zach Riola, and Lorenzo Anderson; and |
|
WHEREAS, The success of the baseball team is part of an |
|
exceptional year for Yoe athletics, with the girls' track team |
|
winning the state championship, and the girls' cross-country and |
|
golf squads finishing in second place; the football team was the 2A |
|
runner-up as well, suffering a heartbreaking loss in the |
|
championship game, and the baseball title offers a measure of |
|
redemption for the many students who played both sports; the |
|
outstanding performances by the Yoemen and Lady Yoe have made their |
|
campus one of the leading 2A contenders for the Lone Star Cup, which |
|
goes to the school with the most success in UIL competitions; and |
|
WHEREAS, Through their skill and determination, the Yoe High |
|
baseball players have proven their team one of the finest in the |
|
Lone Star State, and their achievements on the diamond in 2011 will |
|
be fondly remembered in Cameron for many years to come; now, |
|
therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate the C. H. Yoe |
|
High School baseball team on winning the UIL 2A state championship |
|
and extend to the team's players, coaches, and staff sincere best |
|
wishes 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. |
