WHEREAS, The Martins Mill High School girls' basketball team |
|
|
enjoyed an outstanding 2016-2017 season, advancing all the way to |
|
|
the University Interscholastic League 2A state championship game on |
|
|
March 4 at the Alamodome in San Antonio; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Lady Mustangs compiled a stellar overall season |
|
|
record of 37 wins and just 3 defeats and put together a thrilling |
|
|
29-game winning streak; after claiming the District 14-2A title, |
|
|
the Martins Mill players went on to record commanding playoff |
|
|
victories over Blue Ridge, Rivercrest, Honey Grove, and Windthorst |
|
|
High Schools, and their triumph over Era High on February 25 secured |
|
|
the regional crown and earned the team a trip to the state |
|
|
tournament for the 12th time in school history; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Martins Mill faced off against 2016 state champion |
|
|
Weimar High School in the state semifinals; in a hard-fought |
|
|
showdown, the Lady Mustangs overcame a 10-point fourth quarter |
|
|
deficit with clutch shooting and a stout defense that allowed |
|
|
Weimar only one point over a nearly six-minute stretch to close out |
|
|
the contest; the 58-50 victory returned Martins Mill to the state |
|
|
finals for the second time in three years; in that game, the Lady |
|
|
Mustangs put up a determined effort but ultimately fell to |
|
|
Panhandle High School to bring their memorable season to a close; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The dedicated members of the Martins Mill High |
|
|
School girls' basketball team proved themselves one of the top 2A |
|
|
squads in Texas during the 2016-2017 campaign, and they may indeed |
|
|
reflect with pride on their notable accomplishments; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Martins Mill High School girls' |
|
|
basketball team on its successful season and extend to the team's |
|
|
players, coaches, and staff sincere best wishes for the future; |
|
|
and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the Lady Mustangs as an expression of high regard by |
|
|
the Texas House of Representatives. |
