H.R. No. 1352
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, The boys' basketball team from Clarendon High School
  furthered the school's tradition of athletic excellence by winning
  the 2022 University Interscholastic League 2A title to retain its
  mantle as state champion; and
         WHEREAS, Following a stellar performance in the regular
  season, the Broncos entered the playoffs on a wave of momentum and
  dispatched Sunray, Vega, Gruver, New Home, and Christoval High
  Schools to punch their ticket to the state tournament for the sixth
  time in program history; there, Clarendon toppled LaRue LaPoynor
  69-60 in the semifinals to advance to the championship contest; and
         WHEREAS, On March 12 at the Alamodome in San Antonio,
  Clarendon took the floor against previously undefeated Lipan High
  School; after trailing by eight points at halftime, the Broncos
  ignited an impressive run in the second half, outscoring their
  opponents 49-27; emerging victorious by the final score of 65-51,
  the Broncos hoisted the championship trophy for the second straight
  season and closed out a storybook year with an overall record of 31
  wins and only two losses; and
         WHEREAS, Clarendon was led by championship game Most Valuable
  Player LaMarcus Penigar, and he was joined on the 2A All-Tournament
  Team by Cayden D'Costa and Jmaury Davis; the Broncos also received
  valuable contributions throughout the year from the other members
  of the roster: Harrison Howard, Jordan Herndon, Lyric Smith, Jaxan
  McAnear, Tyler Harper, Kaleb Bolin, Anthony Ceniceros, Mason Sims,
  Levi Gates, Colton Caudle, Reagan Wade, and Grant Haynes; these
  determined athletes were ably guided by head coach Boston Hudson
  and assistant coach Alton Gaines; and
         WHEREAS, By winning back-to-back state titles, the Clarendon
  Broncos have burnished their reputation as an emerging basketball
  powerhouse, and they may indeed reflect with pride on a job well
  done; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
  Legislature hereby congratulate the Clarendon High School boys'
  basketball team on winning the 2022 UIL 2A state championship 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.
