|
2013, with a win in the title game at the Frank Erwin Center in |
|
Austin; and |
|
WHEREAS, Matching up against Houston Yates High School with |
|
the championship on the line, the Trojan players demonstrated great |
|
composure and perseverance; the team led by only two points at |
|
halftime, and the third quarter featured two lead changes and five |
|
ties, but Madison went on an impressive run in the final minutes of |
|
the game to secure an 85-72 victory and the state crown; and |
|
WHEREAS, The championship triumph closed out an 18-game |
|
winning streak for the Trojans, who finished with an overall record |
|
of 32 wins and just 4 defeats; and |
|
WHEREAS, Senior guard Derrick Smith was named the title game |
|
Most Valuable Player after scoring 27 points and hauling down 14 |
|
rebounds, while Admon Gilder, a sophomore guard, added 19 points |
|
and joined Mr. Smith as an All-Tournament honoree; excelling with a |
|
true team effort, the Trojans also received significant |
|
contributions throughout the season from the other members of the |
|
roster: Robert Pearson, Brandon Stanton, Jamon Brewer, J. D. |
|
Wallace, Cameron Bryant, Devonte Robinson, Kwame Thomas, Latarius |
|
Spearman, Demarcus West, Johnathon Turner, Devante Wheatley, |
|

|
WHEREAS, These dedicated athletes were ably guided by head |
|
coach Damien Mobley and assistant coaches Tracy Flentroy and |
|
Roderick Johnson, with additional support from team manager Sheldon |
|
Williams; and |
|
WHEREAS, A state title can only be achieved through a |
|
combination of talent and hard work, and all those involved in |
|
Madison High School's championship effort may take justifiable |
|
pride in a job well done; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|

|
basketball team on winning the UIL 3A state championship and extend |
