WHEREAS, The girls' golf team of Montgomery High School again |
|
|
proved itself one of the finest in Texas by claiming the 2012 |
|
|
University Interscholastic League 4A championship at the state |
|
|
tournament in Austin; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Shooting a combined 622 in the two-day event, held |
|
|
April 30 and May 1 at the Jimmy Clay Golf Course, the members of the |
|
|
Montgomery purple team beat runner-up Trophy Club Byron Nelson by |
|
|
three strokes and Austin Lake Travis by nine; the victory continued |
|
|
the school's tradition of golf superiority, as the Lady Bears won |
|
|
their fourth consecutive state championship and their 11th in the |
|
|
past 12 years; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The team was paced by Laura Lindsey, who scored an 8 |
|
|
over par 152 through 36 holes to take seventh place in the |
|
|
individual standings; she was followed by Kallie Gonzales with 153 |
|
|
and Abbey Bradley at 155, giving the squad three players among the |
|
|
top 10; in addition, Kirby Sullivan shot a 162, and Paige Roberts |
|
|
tallied 167; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In a further testament to the exceptional level of |
|
|
talent at Montgomery High, the school also sent the gold team to the |
|
|
state tournament, and its members shot a 657 to earn fifth place; |
|
|
all of the Lady Bear golfers benefited from the expertise and |
|
|
support of head coach Rusty Herridge and assistant coach Ronnie |
|
|
Cooper; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Winning a state title requires focus, |
|
|
determination, and an unflagging commitment to being the best, and |
|
|
by proving themselves equal to the task, the members of the |
|
|
2011-2012 Lady Bears golf team have added yet another proud chapter |
|
|
to their school's history of athletic achievement; now, therefore, |
|
|
be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Montgomery High School girls' |
|
|
golf team on winning the 2012 UIL 4A state championship and extend |
|
|
to the team's 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 |
