WHEREAS, The Evadale High School girls' basketball team |
|
|
enjoyed a memorable 2014-2015 season, claiming the district title |
|
|
and advancing to the regional semifinals of the University |
|
|
Interscholastic League 2A state playoffs; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Lady Rebels put together an impressive winning |
|
|
streak late in the year and went undefeated in league play to |
|
|
capture the District 24 2A championship and earn a first-round bye |
|
|
in the state playoffs; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Evadale opened the postseason against Carlisle High |
|
|
School in a showdown for the area crown; the Lady Rebels jumped out |
|
|
to a double-digit lead at halftime before pulling away in the second |
|
|
half for a dominating 66-37 win; matching up with the squad from |
|
|
Tenaha High School in the following round, Evadale proved up to the |
|
|
task once more, recording a hard-fought 41-40 win; in the regional |
|
|
semifinals, the Lady Rebels turned in another spirited performance |
|
|
but ultimately fell to Hubbard High School to bring the year to a |
|
|
close; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The notable success realized by the Lady Rebels |
|
|
stemmed from their team-oriented approach to the game, with |
|
|
valuable contributions coming from each member of the roster; these |
|

|
|
Hollyfield, who inspired his players to perform at the highest |
|
|
level; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through skill, determination, and hard work, the |
|
|
members of the Evadale High School Lady Rebels basketball team |
|
|
proudly represented their school and community, and they are indeed |
|
|
deserving of recognition for a job well done; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
