WHEREAS, The Cypress Creek High School girls' water polo team |
|
again reached the pinnacle of success by winning its second |
|
consecutive Texas Interscholastic Swimming Coaches Association |
|
state championship on May 6, 2017, at the Westside Aquatic Center in |
|
Lewisville; and |
|
WHEREAS, After securing the regional title with their |
|
outstanding play in the regular season, the Cougars advanced to the |
|
state meet, where they dominated squads from Marcus and Dawson High |
|
Schools in the first two rounds of the tournament and overcame a |
|
fourth-quarter deficit in the semifinal match against Southlake |
|
Carroll High School to move on to the finale; in that game, these |
|
talented young athletes faced off against St. Agnes Academy, |
|
ultimately defeating their opponent 10-6 and defending their state |
|
championship crown; and |
|
WHEREAS, Cypress Creek's success was the result of a true |
|
team effort, with each member of the roster providing valuable |
|
contributions throughout the course of the season; moreover, the |
|
Cougars drew on the expertise and inspirational leadership of head |
|
coach Jeff Chandler and his staff; and |
|
WHEREAS, Winning a state championship represents the |
|
culmination of countless hours of hard work and an unswerving |
|
commitment to excellence, and the Cypress Creek Cougars may take |
|
justifiable pride in this outstanding accomplishment; now, |
|
therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Cypress Creek High School |
|
girls' water polo team on winning the 2017 Texas Interscholastic |
|
Swimming Coaches Association 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. |
