H.R. No. 1953

R E S O L U T I O N

WHEREAS, The Bruceville-Eddy High School softball team captured the District 21-2A championship with a 5-0 victory over Crawford High School on April 8, 2013; and

WHEREAS, Under the guidance of head coach Keith Johnson, the Lady Eagles pushed their overall record to 20 wins and just 2 losses, including a perfect 10-0 mark in league competition, as they claimed their first district crown since 2009; and

WHEREAS, In the title-clinching game, Bruceville-Eddy pitcher Ashley Hoehn turned in a dominating performance in shutting out the defending state champions from Crawford; she held the opposing batters to only four hits and never allowed a runner to advance farther than second base; timely hits from Ms. Hoehn, Whitney Doyen, Bailey Robins, and Erin Anderson, as well as a key sacrifice by Ashley Terpening, provided the offensive firepower to carry the Lady Eagles to victory; and

WHEREAS, Winning a district championship is the culmination of countless hours of hard work and an unwavering commitment to excellence, and these talented student-athletes may take justifiable pride in this notable accomplishment; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas Legislature hereby congratulate the Bruceville-Eddy High School softball team on winning the District 21-2A 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.

Anderson
