WHEREAS, The members of the Granbury High School Marine Corps |
|
|
Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps rifle team reached the |
|
|
pinnacle of success by winning the 2018 National Air Rifle League |
|
|
Championship Tournament; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Undefeated in the regular season, Granbury claimed |
|
|
the Junior ROTC Conference title and entered the national |
|
|
tournament as the top seed; the team lived up to its billing by |
|
|
posting victories over Piedra Vista High School AJROTC in the |
|
|
quarterfinals and Rio Salado Sportsman's Club in the semifinals to |
|
|
earn a berth in the tournament finale; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, With the title on the line, Granbury faced off |
|
|
against the Georgia Competitive Shooters, who had defeated the |
|
|
Texas team in the 2017 semifinals and the 2015 championship game; |
|
|
emerging triumphant in the rematch, Granbury overcame its rival by |
|
|
a score of 2,346 to 2,338 to capture its first National Air Rifle |
|
|
League championship; Allison Henry turned in outstanding |
|
|
performances in all three games and received the Most Valuable |
|
|
Player honor, and Makenzie Sheffield led the team with a score of |
|
|
592 in the finals; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ably guided by Lieutenant Colonel Scott Casey, the |
|
|
Granbury team also received valuable contributions from the other |
|
|
members of the roster: Philip Becker, Clarissa Layland, M'Leah |
|
|
Lambdin, Jakob Rankin, and Elizabeth Plecity; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The talented and dedicated members of the Granbury |
|
|
Marine Corps Junior ROTC rifle team have realized an exceptional |
|
|
accomplishment, and they may take justifiable pride in earning this |
|
|
coveted national title; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Granbury High School Marine |
|
|
Corps Junior ROTC rifle team on winning the National Air Rifle |
|
|
League Championship Tournament and extend to the team's players, |
|
|
coaches, and staff sincere best wishes for the future; 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. |
