|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Waxahachie High School boys' basketball team |
|
|
enjoyed an outstanding 2020-2021 campaign, advancing all the way to |
|
|
the Region II championship game of the University Interscholastic |
|
|
League 6A playoffs; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, During the regular season, the Indians racked up 16 |
|
|
wins against just two losses and claimed the District 11-6A crown; |
|
|
they continued to excel in the playoffs, dispatching Belton and |
|
|
Rockwall High Schools and recording a commanding 78-67 victory over |
|
|
Killeen Ellison in the regional quarterfinals; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Waxahachie took the floor against Cypress Woods High |
|
|
in the regional semifinals, and once again, the Indians were |
|
|
unstoppable; asserting their dominance from the opening tip-off to |
|
|
the final buzzer, they triumphed 84-50 to reach the 6A regional |
|
|
finale for the first time in program history; that contest featured |
|
|
a rematch with the Duncanville team that Waxahachie had defeated in |
|
|
an overtime game in January; the Indians turned in a valiant effort |
|
|
in the playoff showdown, delivering a furious second-half rally, |
|
|
but ultimately fell short to end the year with a 20-3 record; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Indians received valuable contributions over |
|
|
the course of the season from each member of the roster: D. J. |
|
|
Pigford, Jordan Davis, Dmarion Callier, V'Zarion Roberson, Jalen |
|
|
Lake, Prince Banks, Matthew Green, Kambren Drummer, Preston Hodge, |
|
|
Christian O'Donell, C. J. Noland, Montez Young, Jacob Watson, |
|
|
Darkaun King, and JH'Marques Head; these determined |
|
|
student-athletes were ably guided by head coach Greg Gober and his |
|
|
assistants, Colton Gober, Anthony Dees, and Cody Heil; additional |
|
|
support was provided by managers Ryan Butler, Johnny D'Avila, and |
|
|
Stevie Honrud; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The talented and hardworking members of the |
|
|
Waxahachie High School boys' basketball team set a new standard of |
|
|
achievement with their thrilling playoff run, and they are a source |
|
|
of great pride for their fellow students and their many supporters |
|
|
in the community; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Waxahachie High School boys' |
|
|
basketball team on its success during the 2020-2021 season and |
|
|
extend to the team's players, coaches, and staff sincere best |
|
|
wishes for continued success; 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. |
