WHEREAS, The boys' basketball team of McNeil High School in |
|
|
the Round Rock Independent School District achieved a notable |
|
|
milestone by winning the 400th game in its history on February 18, |
|
|
2011, with a victory over Reagan High School; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Maverick basketball program began in 1992, |
|
|
shortly after the school first opened its doors; as a brand new |
|
|
team, McNeil struggled to an 8-22 record that first season, but |
|
|
Darrell Hagemann, the school's original and only head coach to |
|
|
date, soon got the athletes on the right track; they were 21-12 and |
|
|
bi-district champions in just their second year of competition; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Mavericks returned to the UIL playoffs the next |
|
|
two seasons and made it all the way to the state semifinals during |
|
|
the 1995-1996 campaign; the following year, McNeil became a 5A team |
|
|
and has made it to the postseason 12 times in that division; its |
|
|
most recent appearance took place in 2011, when the squad beat Akins |
|
|
High School in the first round before falling to The Woodlands; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Throughout the team's history, it has benefited from |
|
|
dedicated players; the 2010-2011 lineup was no exception, with |
|
|
valuable contributions being made by Jim Airey, Blair Williams, |
|
|
Corey Calbreath, Robert Waters, Jacob Jiongo, Hayden Worrell, |
|
|
Marcus Timourian, Aaron Abrego, Trent Nielsen, Josh Jones, Kirk |
|
|
Teal, Jeremiah Jones, Michael Christiano, Matt Kida, and Max |
|
|
Pepper; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Coach Hagemann and assistant coach Cory Shrader are |
|
|
justifiably proud of this group as well as all of the previous |
|
|
Mavericks basketball players, and the role that each of these young |
|
|
men played in the program's achievements is indeed deserving of |
|
|
recognition; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the McNeil High School boys' |
|
|
basketball team on winning the 400th game in its history and extend |
|
|
to the players and coaches 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. |
