WHEREAS, The softball team from Atascocita High School in |
|
|
Humble reached the pinnacle of success by winning the University |
|
|
Interscholastic League 6A state championship on June 2, 2018; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Following an impressive showing in the regular |
|
|
season, the Lady Eagles began their thrilling playoff run by |
|
|
defeating Pasadena Memorial and Pearland High Schools in successive |
|
|
three-game series; they next completed two-game sweeps of Clute |
|
|
Brazoswood and Houston Bellaire and then bested Katy High two games |
|
|
to one to advance to the state tournament; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In the semifinals, Atascocita defeated Plano High |
|
|
School by a score of 4-2 to set up a showdown against top-ranked |
|
|
Comal Canyon High for the 6A crown; in a highly competitive |
|
|
back-and-forth contest, the Lady Eagles twice found themselves |
|
|
trailing, but their three-run outburst in the bottom of the sixth |
|
|
inning proved decisive as they recorded a 5-3 victory and claimed |
|
|
the first state softball championship in school history; moreover, |
|
|
the team ended the year with an outstanding record of 35 wins and |
|
|
just 7 defeats and received a top-20 national ranking from |
|
|

WHEREAS, Through hard work and an unwavering commitment to |
|
|
excellence, the Atascocita Lady Eagles have become a source of |
|
|
great pride to their school and community, and all those associated |
|
|
with the team will forever cherish the memory of this remarkable |
|
|
