WHEREAS, The talented baseball team from Calallen High School |
|
|
in Corpus Christi has advanced to the regional finals of the 2015 |
|
|
University Interscholastic League 5A state playoffs; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Wildcats entered the tournament as the number |
|
|
two seed and turned in triumphant performances against Cigarroa, |
|
|
Sharyland, and Victoria East High Schools to reach the regional |
|
|
semifinal against Alamo Heights High School; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, After routing the Mules with a 13-0 victory in the |
|
|
series opener, the Wildcats looked to clinch a finals berth on May |
|
|
29; senior right-hander Kyle Hill led that effort on the mound by |
|
|
silencing the opposing offense, allowing just two infield singles |
|
|
and recording 13 strikeouts; his strong performance was bolstered |
|
|
by catcher Kale Emshoff, who reached first base with one out in the |
|
|
fourth inning, and John Gaddis, who followed up to score pinch |
|
|
runner Preston Rackley by lacing a single to left field and |
|
|
advancing to third on an error; Nathan Rabe then brought home |
|
|
Mr. Gaddis on a sacrifice fly to centerfield, and the 2-0 lead held |
|
|
to become the final score; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Benefiting from the skilled guidance of head coach |
|
|
Steve Chapman, the Wildcats will be going into the regional finals |
|
|
on June 6 with a stellar record of 30 wins and 3 losses; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through their hard work and dedication, these |
|
|
outstanding players have furthered Calallen High's record of |
|
|
athletic excellence, and their accomplishments are a source of |
|
|
great pride to their school and their many supporters in the |
|
|
community; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Calallen High School baseball |
|
|
team on advancing to the regional finals of the 2015 UIL 5A state |
|
|
playoffs and extend to the team 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. |
