WHEREAS, The team from Wylie High School in Abilene won the 3A |
|
|
title at the 2013 Texas Tennis Coaches Association State Team |
|
|
Tennis Tournament, attaining its sixth consecutive victory at the |
|
|
event; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Storming their way through the tournament, held |
|
|
March 8 and 9 at the Rose Park Tennis Center in Abilene, the |
|
|
Bulldogs finished with an exceptional individual match record of 62 |
|
|
wins and just 4 losses; they began with triumphs over the teams from |
|
|
Van and Fredericksburg and then went on to dominate Rockport-Fulton |
|
|
in the semifinals by a score of 15-1; that win set the stage for the |
|
|
tournament final, in which Wylie continued to benefit from the |
|
|
superb play of its singles and doubles competitors and overwhelmed |
|
|
Vernon High School by a score of 10-1; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Drawing inspiration from their past success in the |
|
|
event, the Bulldogs refused to be denied as they worked to maintain |
|
|
the school's TTCA championship winning streak; this drive was |
|
|
particularly evident among the senior players, many of whom have |
|
|
been part of multiple title-winning teams during their years of |
|
|
varsity competition; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Guided by head coach Kathryn Gilreath and assistant |
|
|
coach Rose Bristow, the 2013 Bulldogs have furthered their school's |
|
|
rich tradition of athletic excellence, and these dedicated athletes |
|
|
may take justifiable pride in their achievement; now, therefore, be |
|
|
it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Wylie High School tennis team |
|
|
on winning the 3A title at the 2013 Texas Tennis Coaches Association |
|
|
State Team Tennis Tournament and extend to the players and coaches |
|
|
sincere best wishes for the future; 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. |
