|
WHEREAS, In a thrilling demonstration of skill and |
|
|
determination, the Round Top-Carmine High School volleyball team |
|
|
claimed the University Interscholastic League 1A state |
|
|
championship with a victory in the title match at Strahan Coliseum |
|
|
in San Marcos on November 20, 2010; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Cubettes advanced to the finals after beating |
|
|
Normangee High School in the semifinals in a closely contested |
|
|
battle in which each game was decided by a handful of points; the |
|
|
tournament final against a talented squad from Wink High School was |
|
|
even more contentious; after the Cubettes took the first two games |
|
|
by scores of 25-20 and 27-25, Wink High came back to tie the match |
|
|
with consecutive 25-20 victories; Round Top-Carmine then won the |
|
|
tiebreaker 15-7 by scoring the final eight points; the team closed |
|
|
out the year with a 34-11 record, including victories in its last 18 |
|
|
matches; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Brook Conley, Emily Noak, and Megan Hohlt were named |
|
|
to the All-Tournament Team, and Ms. Hohlt, a freshman, was declared |
|
|
the most valuable player of the championship game; winning with a |
|
|
true team effort, the Cubettes also received vital contributions |
|
|
throughout the year from the other members of the roster: Jessica |
|
|
Bernshausen, Mandi Rudloff, Tori Brooks, Aby Cies, Bailey |
|
|
Dallmeyer, Mariah Newsome, Marissa Hibbeler, Amanda Leppard, and |
|
|
Amber Sternadel; the team managers are Londan Bayer, Adyson Lange, |
|
|
and Emma Leppard; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This was the fourth state title for the Round |
|
|
Top-Carmine team, which has played in the state final 11 times and |
|
|
has made 16 appearances in the state tournament; this notable |
|
|
legacy has been overseen by head coach Tanya Nygrin, who has guided |
|
|
the Cubettes for 25 years; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Winning a state title is the result of countless |
|
|
hours of hard work and an enduring commitment to excellence, and the |
|
|
members of the Round Top-Carmine volleyball team may take |
|
|
justifiable pride in this exceptional achievement; now, therefore, |
|
|
be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Round Top-Carmine High School |
|
|
volleyball team on winning the 2010-2011 University |
|
|
Interscholastic League 1A state championship and extend to the |
|
|
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. |
