WHEREAS, Demonstrating outstanding skill and dedication, the |
|
|
boys' basketball team of Kimball High School in Dallas captured the |
|
|
2010-2011 University Interscholastic League 4A state championship |
|

|
WHEREAS, Playing in front of 12,836 fans at the Frank Erwin |
|
|
Center in Austin, the Knights stormed out to a 13-2 lead against La |
|
|
Marque High School; the game turned into a closely contested dog |
|
|
fight in the second half, but determined play down the stretch |
|
|
allowed Kimball to come away with the 78-64 win and to claim its |
|
|
first state title since 1997; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Knights were paced by Shannon Lilly, who scored |
|
|
23 points and was especially effective on three-point shots, making |
|
|
five of six; for his efforts, Mr. Lilly was named the game's most |
|
|
valuable player; exceptional performances were also turned in by |
|
|
Austin Franklin, who had 15 points, and Oscar Lewis, who scored 8; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Winning with a true team effort, the Knights also |
|
|
received valuable contributions throughout the season from the |

|
|

|
|

|
|

|
WHEREAS, Head coach Royce Johnson led Kimball to a 38-3 |
|
|
record on the year, and he was ably assisted by Ryan Foppe, Robert |
|
|
Jacobs, Bo Johnson, and Toby Daniels; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through hard work and an enduring commitment to |
|
|
excellence, the Kimball High School basketball team reached the |
|
|
ultimate level of success during the 2010-2011 season, and these |
|
|
skilled athletes, their coaches, and their fans may take |
|
|
justifiable pride in this accomplishment; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Kimball High School boys' |
|
|
basketball team on winning the UIL 4A state championship and |
|
