H.R. No. 615

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The Friendswood Mustangs Challenger baseball team
	played in an exhibition game during the Little League World Series
	in August 2010; and
	WHEREAS, A division of Little League, the Challenger Division
	was established in 1989 to enable boys and girls with physical and
	mental challenges, ages 4-18, or up to age 22 if still enrolled in
	high school, to enjoy the game of baseball along with the millions
	of other children who participate in this sport worldwide; no score
	is kept and everyone gets a chance to bat; the Challenger team in
	Friendswood was organized by Tom and Mandy Goodwin, and Mr.
	Goodwin, Greg Griffith, and Brett White serve as coaches; and
	WHEREAS, The Friendswood squad was one of just two Challenger
	teams extended an invitation to play during the 2010 Little League
	World Series held in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania; the Mustangs
	met a team from New Jersey in a two-inning contest in front of a
	crowd of 2,000; after the game, the players posed for pictures and
	met Little League competitors from all over the world who were
	participating in the series; in recognition of its accomplishment,
	the team was honored with a Celebration of Excellence Award by the
	Friendswood Independent School District in September 2010; and
	WHEREAS, The Mustangs roster is composed of the following
	ballplayers: Kayla Gray, Anna Griffith, Molly Hart, Jordan Hoskins,
	Cristopher Martinez, Jake Randal, Ashlee Reuter, Daniel Seale, Ben
	Theriault, Danny Vazquez, and Jason Wellen; each team member hails
	from Friendswood except for Mr. Seale, who is from Houston, and Mr.
	Wellen, who is from Pearland; and
	WHEREAS, Through their love of baseball, the Friendswood
	Mustangs proudly represented the Lone Star State on the
	international stage of the Little League World Series, and these
	young athletes may take justifiable pride in this outstanding
	achievement; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
	Legislature hereby congratulate the Friendswood Mustangs
	Challenger baseball team on its appearance in an exhibition game at
	the 2010 Little League World Series and extend to the players
	sincere best wishes for the future; 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.
