WHEREAS, The girls' basketball team from Dulles High School |
|
|
in Sugar Land enjoyed an outstanding 2020-2021 season, claiming the |
|
|
district championship and advancing to the quarterfinals of the |
|
|
University Interscholastic League 6A state playoffs; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, During the regular season, the Vikings went |
|
|
undefeated, finishing with an overall record of 22-0 to claim the |
|
|
District 20-6A title and earn a spot in the state playoffs; in their |
|
|
bi-district matchup against Katy High School, the hot shooting of |
|
|
the Dulles players proved too much for the Tigers, and the team |
|
|
cruised to a 65-39 triumph to advance to the area finals; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In a matchup of two teams ranked in the top 10, |
|
|
Dulles trailed Jersey Village High School by two possessions at |
|
|
multiple points in the second half but pulled ahead with a late 10-0 |
|
|
run, securing the school's first area championship since 2009; |
|
|
squaring off against Tompkins High School in their quarterfinal |
|
|
contest on February 24, the Vikings turned in a valiant effort but |
|
|
ultimately fell to the Falcons, bringing a memorable year to a |
|
|
close; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Throughout the season, the Vikings were paced by |
|
|
District 20-6A Most Valuable Player Nya Threatt and Defensive MVP |
|
|
Dai Dai Powell; in addition, Victoria Moore, Peyton Overton, and |
|
|
Jakiaya Thompson earned First-Team All-District honors while Kayli |
|
|
Johnson was named to the All-District Second Team; the squad |
|
|
received valuable contributions throughout the season from each |
|
|
member of the roster, and the players were ably guided by head coach |
|
|
Jermichael Simon, winner of the district Coach of the Year award; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through their skill and hard work, the Vikings have |
|
|
established themselves as strong playoff contenders, and their |
|
|
accomplishments are a source of pride for their school and |
|
|
community; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Dulles High School girls' |
|
|
basketball team on a successful 2020-2021 season 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. |
