WHEREAS, The D'Hanis High School girls' basketball team |
|
|
enjoyed an exceptional 2014-2015 season, advancing all the way to |
|
|
the semifinals of the University Interscholastic League 1A state |
|
|
playoffs; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, After claiming the District 31 title with their |
|
|
stellar play against their league rivals, the Cowgirls started the |
|
|
postseason with a dominating victory over Burton High School in the |
|
|
area round and followed that performance with an exciting, |
|
|
last-second win against Goodrich High School in the regional |
|
|
quarterfinals; D'Hanis then topped Jonesboro High School in another |
|
|
hard-fought game by a score of 39-35 to keep its thrilling playoff |
|
|
run alive; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Cowgirls proved up to the task once more in a |
|
|
48-46 triumph over Coolidge High School in the regional finals, |
|
|
storming back from a fourth quarter deficit to clinch the Region 4 |
|
|
crown and secure the second state tournament berth in school |
|
|
history and the first since 1979; in its semifinal game, D'Hanis put |
|
|
up a determined effort, but ultimately lost to Nazareth High School |
|
|
to bring a memorable season to a close; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ably guided by head coach Fred McCollum and |
|
|
assistant coach Todd Craft, the Cowgirls benefited from the vital |
|
|
contributions made throughout the year by each member of the team: |
|
|
Crysta Salazar, Jacie Henefey, Sarah Craft, Elisa Nolasco, Morgan |
|
|
Lynch, Ashley Philipp, Mallory McCollum, and Shelby Gayre; |
|
|
additional assistance was provided by managers Hallie Lynch and |
|
|
Jahnelin Costa; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The members of the Cowgirls basketball team have |
|
|
become a source of tremendous pride to their many supporters in the |
|
|
local community, and the hard work and dedication they have |
|
|
demonstrated 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 D'Hanis High School girls' |
|
|
basketball team on its success during the 2014-2015 season and |
|

|
|
wishes for continued achievement; and, be it further |
