|
|
WHEREAS, The girls' basketball team of Sunnyvale High School |
|
|
reached the pinnacle of success by capturing the University |
|
|
Interscholastic League 3A state championship on March 7, 2015, with |
|
|
a win in the title game at the Alamodome in San Antonio; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Finishing with a record of 37 wins and just 2 |
|
|
defeats, the Lady Raiders went undefeated in district play and |
|
|
compiled an impressive 34-game winning streak; Sunnyvale began the |
|
|
postseason with dominating double-digit victories over Peaster, |
|
|
Paradise, Brock, and Winnsboro High Schools to advance to the |
|
|
regional finals; there, the team triumphed over Alba-Golden High |
|
|
School by a score of 68-55 to earn the school's debut appearance in |
|
|
the state tournament; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Sunnyvale deployed an aggressive defense to |
|
|
overwhelm Rockdale High School in the semifinals, taking an early |
|
|
lead and cruising to a 71-27 win to clinch a spot in the |
|
|
championship game; the Lady Raiders proved up to the task once more |
|
|
in the 3A final against Shallowater High School, as they went on a |
|
|
blistering offensive run in the third quarter to secure a 52-37 |
|
|
victory and Sunnyvale High's first basketball state crown; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Senior guard Grace Goodhart was named the title game |
|
|
Most Valuable Player after scoring 13 points and hauling in 4 |
|
|
rebounds, while teammate Karah Sicurella added 12 points to join |
|
|
Ms. Goodhart as an All-Tournament honoree; excelling with a true |
|
|
team effort, the Lady Raiders also received significant |
|
|
contributions throughout the season from the other members of the |
|
|
roster: Ivy Alexander, Leslie Berry, Gabrielle Allen, Bria Johnson, |
|
|
Landry Westmoreland, Jordan Griffin, Claire Knight, Lori McDermett, |
|
|
Madison D'Elia, and Kinsley Troutman; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, These dedicated athletes were ably guided by head |
|
|
coach Jill McDill and assistant coaches Casey Reeves and Autumn |
|
|
Softley; additional support was provided by managers Elizabeth Ann |
|
|
Beaty, Kayla Rabb, and Karlee Williams, athletic trainer Chris |
|
|
Wangler, and student trainer Jim Threet; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A state title can only be achieved through a |
|
|
combination of talent and hard work, and all those involved in |
|
|
Sunnyvale High School's championship effort may take justifiable |
|
|
pride in a job well done; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Sunnyvale High School girls' |
|
|
basketball team on winning the UIL 3A state 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. |
