WHEREAS, The Klein Forest High School boys' basketball team |
|
|
closed out an unforgettable season by advancing all the way to the |
|
|
2019 University Interscholastic League 6A championship game on |
|
|
March 9 at the Alamodome in San Antonio; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, After compiling an outstanding record of 27 wins and |
|
|
just 3 losses during the regular season, the Golden Eagles embarked |
|
|
on a thrilling playoff run in which they defeated the teams from |

|
Spring Westfield, Cypress Springs, Houston Eisenhower, and |
|
|
Rockwall High Schools before squaring off against South Garland in |
|
|

|
round, the Golden Eagles mounted a thrilling comeback, rallying |
|
|
from a second-half deficit to claim a 69-60 triumph and advance to |
|
|
the championship game; the Klein Forest players made a strong |
|
|
showing in the 6A finale against Duncanville High School but |
|

|
|
record of 33 wins and 4 losses; and |

|
|
WHEREAS, The talented student-athletes of the Klein Forest |
|
|
basketball team distinguished themselves through their hard work |
|
|
and unwavering commitment to excellence, and they are a source of |
|
|
great pride to their school and community; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Klein Forest High School boys' |
|
