WHEREAS, The tennis team from Robinson High School made a |
|
strong showing in the University Interscholastic League 3A Region |
|
III tournament in Bryan on April 15 and 16, 2013, qualifying one |
|
singles player and one doubles team for the state tournament; and |
|
WHEREAS, Seeded number two in the regional competition, Jacob |
|
Wingate punched his ticket to state with a solid performance; he |
|
dropped only one game in his first two matches and won his semifinal |
|
6-4, 6-4 before falling to the top-seeded player in the final by a |
|
score of 3-6, 3-6; and |
|
WHEREAS, The doubles combination of McKenna Kramer and Kayla |
|
Hill-Johnson also earned a slot in the state tournament by claiming |
|
second place against their regional foes; the duo powered through |
|
their first three matches to reach the final, and though they lost |
|
that showdown, they turned in a strong performance in the |
|
consolation playback round, prevailing 6-7, 6-1, 6-3 to secure |
|
their runner-up position; and |
|
WHEREAS, Under the skillful guidance of coaches Jack Gregory |
|
and Jodi Olson, six other members of the Robinson team also |
|
qualified for the regional tournament and gained valuable |
|
experience that will benefit them next season: Nikki Bright, Eric |
|
Bortz, Kerry Carriveau, Brianna Docherty, Savannah Hill-Johnson, |
|
and Hunter Goolsby; and |
|
WHEREAS, The 2012-2013 Robinson players continued their |
|
school's tradition of tennis excellence, and these dedicated |
|
athletes may take great pride in the skill that they have |
|
demonstrated throughout the year; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Robinson High School tennis |
|
team on its success at the UIL 3A Region III tournament and extend |
|
to the team's 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. |
