WHEREAS, The Lorena High School softball team claimed the |
|
District 17-3A championship with a 3-1 victory over China Spring on |
|
April 16, 2013; and |
|
WHEREAS, Having clinched a share of the title with a win over |
|
West High School in their previous outing, the Lady Leopards |
|
entered the game against China Spring with strong momentum, seeking |
|
their first outright district crown since 2010; and |
|
WHEREAS, Lorena struggled at the plate early in the game, but |
|
winning pitcher Kayla Donaldson limited the opposing team to one |
|
run to keep the score close; the Lady Leopard bats came alive in the |
|
fifth inning as key doubles by Amber Fuchs and Cheyenne Bell, as |
|
well as a China Spring defensive miscue, brought home three runs to |
|
secure the victory; and |
|
WHEREAS, Guided by Coach Steve Dolezel, the Lady Leopards |
|
will enter the postseason with an impressive record of 23 wins and |
|
just 5 losses, including a 9-1 mark in district play, and their |
|
title-winning performance has earned them a first-round bye; and |
|
WHEREAS, Winning a district championship is the result of |
|
countless hours of hard work and an unwavering commitment to |
|
excellence, and these talented student-athletes may take |
|
justifiable pride in their notable accomplishment; now, therefore, |
|
be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Lorena High School softball |
|
team on winning the District 17-3A 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 |
|
House of Representatives. |
