SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 514
         WHEREAS, The Judson High School girls' basketball team
  closed out an unforgettable year in triumphant fashion by winning
  the 2019 University Interscholastic League 6A state championship
  on March 2 at the Alamodome; and
         WHEREAS, After claiming the district crown during the
  regular season, the Lady Rockets dispatched playoff foes Austin,
  Northside O'Connor, Austin Westlake, and Laredo United High
  Schools to reach the 6A Region IV final; prevailing 71-44 over
  Northside Clark High School, Judson earned its third consecutive
  trip to the state tournament in the UIL's highest classification,
  the first time a San Antonio-area team has done so; and
         WHEREAS, Determined to reverse the heartbreak of 2018,
  when their title bid fell short by just four points, the Judson
  players opened the 2019 state tournament with a 58-47 semifinal
  victory over Allen High School; the team then battled DeSoto High
  for the crown in a hard-fought contest that saw DeSoto take the
  lead in the third quarter; showing tremendous heart down the
  stretch, the Lady Rockets scored two clutch baskets and two free
  throws in the final two minutes to win by a final score of 49-46;
  with the victory, Judson became the first local school to claim a
  girls' basketball state championship; and
         WHEREAS, Judson was led by championship game Most Valuable
  Player Corina Carter, who scored 20 points, and she was joined on
  the 6A All-Tournament Team by Kierra Sanderlin and Kyra White;
  the Lady Rockets also received valuable contributions throughout
  the 2018-2019 campaign from the other members of the roster:  
  Keanalei Aukuso, Jonmecia Baskin, Elena Blanding, Ziyya Brown,
  Teanna Huggins, Chriresha King, Elisha Mackey, Tiffany McGarity,
  and Tianna Rome; these dedicated athletes were ably guided by
  head coach Triva Corrales and assistant coaches Tosha Kennedy,
  William McKethan, and Tamara Torru, and the squad received vital
  support from director of athletics Ryanne DuPree; and
         WHEREAS, Winning a state championship represents the
  culmination of countless hours of hard work and an unwavering
  commitment to excellence, and the members of the Judson Lady
  Rockets basketball team will treasure the memory of this
  accomplishment for many years to come; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
  Legislature, hereby congratulate the Judson High School girls'
  basketball team on winning the 2019 UIL 6A state championship 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 Senate.
