WHEREAS, The Highland Park High School Division 1 and |
|
Division 2 lacrosse teams both captured titles at the 2015 Texas |
|
High School Lacrosse League State Championships on May 10, 2015, in |
|
Round Rock; and |
|
WHEREAS, Guided by head coach Derek Thomson, the Division 1 |
|
squad finished the season with an outstanding record of 14 wins and |
|
just 3 losses; the team's exciting run through the postseason |
|
included a victory against Memorial High School for the |
|
super-regional championship and a dominating 15-6 win over Allen |
|
High School in the semifinals; matching up against The Woodlands in |
|
the title contest, Highland Park took control of the game by scoring |
|
three goals in the closing minutes of the first half and adding |
|
three more shortly after the intermission; the Scots employed a |
|
sound defensive strategy the rest of the way to secure a 10-4 |
|
triumph and the school's sixth lacrosse championship; and |
|
WHEREAS, Highland Park's Division 2 team compiled an equally |
|
impressive 15-3 overall record in 2015 on their way to the state |
|
title; the Scots began the playoffs by defeating Greenhill and |
|
Magnolia High Schools before clinching the super-regional title |
|
with a 12-6 victory over the Texas Military Institute-Episcopal |
|
School of Texas; Highland Park then took down McKinney High School |
|
in the semifinals to earn a spot in the Division 2 finale; with the |
|
state crown on the line, the team turned in a clutch performance |
|
against Colleyville High School, building an early lead and then |
|
putting the game away with seven goals in the final quarter to claim |
|
the state championship; and |
|
WHEREAS, With the immense success of both teams in 2015, |
|
Highland Park has become only the third lacrosse program in THSLL |
|
history to win the Division 1 and Division 2 titles in the same |
|
season; and |
|
WHEREAS, The talented lacrosse athletes from Highland Park |
|
High School have demonstrated the skill and dedication of true |
|
champions, and they may take great pride in their exceptional |
|
achievements; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Highland Park High School |
|
Division 1 and Division 2 lacrosse teams on winning 2015 Texas High |
|
School Lacrosse League state championships and extend to the |
|
players and coaches sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it |
|
further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for the teams as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
House of Representatives. |
