H.R. No. 629

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The boys' basketball team from Summit High School in
	Arlington closed out a historic campaign by winning the 2025
	University Interscholastic League 5A Division 2 state
	championship; and
	WHEREAS, Summit began its journey to the title with an
	impressive run in the regular season that yielded the district
	crown; continuing to excel in the playoffs, the Jaguars dispatched
	Fort Worth Polytechnic, Argyle, Canutillo, and Colleyville
	Heritage High Schools to earn their second state tournament
	appearance after having first advanced to the final four in 2023;
	with a 48-40 victory against Killeen Ellison in the semifinals, the
	team punched its ticket to the state championship contest; and
	WHEREAS, On March 8, Summit battled Missouri City Marshall
	High School in a rematch of a regular-season game; determined to
	avenge their loss in that outing, the Jaguars unleashed their
	tenacious defense, holding the Buffalos to 31 percent shooting in
	the first half to take a 25-13 lead at intermission; Summit was up
	by 12 points entering the fourth quarter and then exhibited great
	resilience down the stretch after its foe narrowed the margin to
	48-43 with just over a minute left; the Jaguars closed strong, and
	when the final seconds ticked off the clock, they celebrated a 54-47
	victory and the program's inaugural state title; and
	WHEREAS, The Jaguars were led by Ian Sedah, the championship
	game Most Valuable Player who was joined by Theo Brannan, Caleb
	Richard, and Javon Ross on the All-Tournament Team; Summit also
	received valuable contributions throughout the year from the other
	members of the roster: Mason Williams, Isaiah Walker, Michael
	Gibbs, David Bardere, Sam Getnet, Zion Lewis, Jaxon Sneed, DeMarus
	Bird, Braylon Turner-Somerville, and Emund Prichett II; these
	determined student-athletes were ably guided by head coach Emund
	Prichett and assistant coaches Kevin Barona, Shane Earwood, and
	Windley Laborte; and
	WHEREAS, Winning a state championship represents the
	culmination of countless hours of hard work and an unwavering
	commitment to excellence, and the Summit Jaguars will treasure the
	memory of this accomplishment for the rest of their lives; now,
	therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
	Legislature hereby congratulate the Summit High School boys'
	basketball team on winning the 2025 UIL 5A Division 2 state
	championship and extend to the 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.
