|
anniversary of their state championship victory in March 2015; and |
|
WHEREAS, The Lady Wildcats entered the 1990 University |

it matched up against Dallas Lincoln High School in the state |

overtime win that set the stage for a title game showdown against |
|

|
their fervent fans, the Corpus Christi players secured a 46-39 |

|
WHEREAS, In winning the 1990 state title, the Calallen Lady |
|
Wildcats became a source of great pride to the Corpus Christi |
|
community, and the 25th anniversary of that unforgettable season is |
|
indeed a milestone worthy of commemoration; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
