SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 391
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize the Hebron High School Girls' Volleyball Team for |
|
|
winning the University Interscholastic League Class 5A state |
|
|
championship title; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Hebron High School is located in Carrollton and is |
|
|
in the Lewisville Independent School District; the girls' |
|
|
volleyball team, the Hawks, won the state title in a dramatic |
|
|
game against The Woodlands, 25-23, 25-17, 27-25; Tiffany Baker |
|
|
was named Most Valuable Player of the tournament; she is the most |
|
|
decorated volleyball player to ever attend Hebron High School; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This highly successful year is a tribute to the |
|
|
girls' outstanding talents and to their team spirit; the team was |
|
|
so dominant in the playoffs that no set was dropped on the way to |
|
|
winning the title; the team is the first to accomplish such a |
|
|
record since rally scoring was implemented in 2004; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Throughout the season, the players devoted many |
|
|
hours to practicing the finer skills of the game and exercised |
|
|
individual discipline and perseverance; the team is ranked |
|
|
number one in the state and number four in the nation; in |
|
|
addition, the Hawks were named to the Maxpreps Volleyball Tour of |
|
|
Champions presented by the National Guard; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Hawks dedicated their season to Scott |
|
|
Cowgill, a committed Hebron volleyball booster who was battling |
|
|
cancer; they incorporated his name into their motto, and every |
|
|
huddle break ended with "Cowgill"; to their elation, after the |
|
|
state tournament, Scott was declared cancer-free; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Under the able leadership of head coach Karin |
|
|
Keeney, and with the aid of the assistant coaches, the Hawks have |
|
|
exhibited respect for the highest ideals of American |
|
|
sportsmanship, and through their amazing drive and teamwork, |
|
|
they have brought honor to themselves and to their school and |
|
|
community; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend the members of the Hebron High School |
|
|
Girls' Volleyball Team for their remarkable season and for |
|
|
earning a state championship title and extend best wishes to each |
|
|
of them for continued success in the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
the team as a token of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
