WHEREAS, The Douglass High School boys' basketball team |
|
|
enjoyed an outstanding 2012-2013 season, advancing all the way to |
|
|
the University Interscholastic League 1A Division 2 state |
|
|
championship game on March 9 at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Guided by head coach Mark Leuschner, the Indians |
|
|
compiled a stellar record of 30 wins to just 7 defeats; their |
|
|
thrilling run through the postseason included victories over |
|
|
Fayetteville, Calvert, Menard, and Oakwood High Schools to advance |
|
|
to the state tournament for the first time in school history; in the |
|
|
semifinals, they once again demonstrated their stout defense and |
|
|
productive scoring attack, and the team's commanding 53-44 triumph |
|
|
over Water Valley earned Douglass a place in the title contest; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Squaring off against Roxton with the state crown |
|
|
hanging in the balance, the Indians put forth a valiant effort |
|
|
behind the 45 combined points of brothers Reed and Bryce Westbrook |
|
|
but ultimately fell by a score of 60-54; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The dedicated student-athletes of the Douglass High |
|
|
basketball team proved themselves one of the top 1A squads in Texas |
|
|
during 2013, and they may reflect with pride on their notable |
|
|
accomplishments; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate the Douglass |
|
|
High School boys' basketball team on reaching the UIL 1A Division 2 |
|
|
state championship game and extend to the team's players and |
|
|
coaching 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. |
