WHEREAS, The Robstown High School baseball team enjoyed an |
|
outstanding 2015 season, capturing the district championship and |
|
advancing to the regional quarterfinals of the University |
|
Interscholastic League 4A playoffs; and |
|
WHEREAS, The Cotton Pickers closed out the regular season |
|
with a 4-1 win over Rockport-Fulton High School on April 28 to claim |
|
the District 31-4A crown and the school's 27th league title; the |
|
team then began its exciting postseason run with two dominating |
|
victories over its bi-district opponent, Port Isabel High School; |
|
and |
|
WHEREAS, Matching up against Hondo in the following round, |
|
Robstown won Game 1 of the series by a score of 5-4 before clinching |
|
the area championship with a five-run triumph in Game 2; that earned |
|
the Cotton Pickers a place in the Region 4 quarterfinals, where they |
|
took the opening contest against Sinton High, thanks to a no-hit |
|
pitching performance by Jesse Ray Garcia; the Robstown players put |
|
forth a determined effort in the final two games of the series, but |
|
they ultimately fell short to bring their memorable season to a |
|
close; and |
|
WHEREAS, Ably guided by head coach Elias Vasquez and |
|
assistant coaches Rudy Gonzalez, Trey Hernandez, and Roland |
|
DeAlejandro, the Cotton Pickers finished the 2015 campaign with an |
|
impressive overall record of 24 wins and just 6 losses and benefited |
|
from the valuable contributions made by each member of the roster; |
|
and |
|
WHEREAS, These talented student-athletes demonstrated hard |
|
work and an unwavering commitment to excellence over the course of |
|
the season, and they may reflect with pride on a job well done; now, |
|
therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Robstown High School baseball |
|
team on its notable accomplishments during 2015 and extend to the |
|
team's athletes and coaching 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. |
