WHEREAS, The Levelland High School girls' basketball team |
|
|
enjoyed an exceptional 2014-2015 season, claiming the district |
|
|
title and advancing to the regional semifinals of the University |
|
|
Interscholastic League 4A playoffs; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Levelland High won each of its 10 games in league |
|
|
competition to clinch the District 2-4A crown; the team's thrilling |
|
|
run through the postseason began with a dominating 84-37 victory |
|
|
over Perryton High School, and the Loboettes went on to soundly |
|
|
defeat the squad from Andrews High to secure the area championship; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In the regional quarterfinals, Levelland fell |
|
|
behind by 18 points in the second quarter to Greenwood High School |
|
|
before an impressive burst of offense in the second half propelled |
|
|
the Loboettes to a double-digit lead; these determined players then |
|
|
secured the game at the free throw line, netting 11 of 14 attempts |
|
|
in the fourth quarter to capture a 72-62 win; that triumph earned |
|
|
the Levelland players a trip to the regional semifinals, where they |
|
|
turned in a valiant effort but saw their season come to an end in a |
|
|
loss to Wylie High School; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ably guided by head coach Clay Barnett and assistant |
|
|
coaches Trevor Tucek and Sarah Dormier, the Loboettes benefited |
|
|
from the vital contributions made throughout the season by each |
|
|
member of the team: Sujei Cera, Paige Royal, Gabie Ruiz, Courtney |
|
|
Villanueva, Lindsey Sharp, Paris McCoy, Peyton Himango, Maeci |
|
|
Scott, Elizabeth Cera, Faith Garza, and Haylee Jackson; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The members of the Levelland Loboettes basketball |
|
|
squad have become a source of tremendous pride to their many |
|
|
supporters in the local community, and the teamwork and dedication |
|
|
they have demonstrated on the court will continue to serve them well |
|
|
in the years to come; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Levelland High School girls' |
|
|
basketball team on its successful 2014-2015 season and extend to |
|
|
the team's players, coaches, and staff 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. |
