| playoffs; and | ||
| WHEREAS, After finishing the regular season as the District | ||

| extra innings late in the seventh but ultimately fell short, | ||
| concluding an impressive season with an overall record of 25 wins, | ||
| 11 losses, and one tie; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Robstown's many achievements were the result of a | ||
| true team effort, and under the able guidance of head coach Elias | ||

| and | ||
| WHEREAS, With their fine showing in the 2017 campaign, the | ||
| Cotton Pickers continued the Robstown High School tradition of | ||
| athletic excellence, and the team members may take justifiable | ||
| pride in the skill and dedication they have demonstrated; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
| Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate the Robstown | ||
| High School baseball team on advancing to the 4A regional finals of | ||
| the 2017 UIL playoffs and extend to the players, coaches, and staff | ||
| sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
