H.R. No. 102

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, The baseball team of Rider High School in Wichita
	Falls brought the 2011 season to a triumphant close by winning the
	University Interscholastic League 4A state championship with a
	victory in the title game on June 10; and
	WHEREAS, Facing Corpus Christi Calallen in the finals of the
	state tournament, the Raiders jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first
	inning, added two runs in the second, and then relied on its
	pitching and defense; a key play came in the fifth inning, when
	senior Cameron Allen saved multiple runs with a spectacular diving
	catch on a fly ball to left field; he then pitched the final two
	innings, holding the opponents scoreless, to secure the first
	baseball state championship in the history of Rider High; and
	WHEREAS, Mr. Allen was named the tournament's most valuable
	player, and he was joined on the 4A All-Tournament Team by Ben
	Smith, Christien Sager, Blake Brom, and Gage Green; the Raiders
	also benefited throughout the season from the valuable
	contributions of the other members of the roster: Brandon Poirot,
	Ben Bates, Ben Cummings, Laandon Geisinger, Mason Stone, Blake
	Burrus, Nick Russell, Matt Montague, Collin Porter, Jordan
	McQuerry, Jon Jones, Cullen Wegmann, Chad Coburn, Isaac Alston,
	David Pewenofkit, Kyler Ritchie, Zach Seale, and Austin Hagy; and
	WHEREAS, These determined athletes were guided by head coach
	Scot Green and assistant coaches Josh Bobbitt, Blake Morrison, and
	Tim Radtke, and they also benefited from the work of trainers Ray
	Winkels and Dan Brown; and
	WHEREAS, Winning the 4A title fulfills the Raiders'
	championship destiny, after having previously reached the state
	tournament in 2005 and 2010; in so doing, the team has become a
	source of great pride to its school and to its many supporters in
	the community, and this achievement will forever remain a fond
	memory for each of the Rider High players; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
	Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate the baseball
	team of Rider High School in Wichita Falls on winning the UIL 4A
	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.
