| H.R. No. 137 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The baseball team of C. H. Yoe High School in Cameron | ||
| brought the 2011 season to a triumphant close by winning the | ||
| University Interscholastic League 2A state championship with a | ||
| victory in the title game on June 9; and | ||
| WHEREAS, After a 6-0 win over Bushland in the state | ||
| tournament semifinals, the Yoemen took the field against Central | ||
| Heights High School of Nacogdoches in the 2A final; the team | ||
| exploded for five runs in the second inning and added to their lead | ||
| in the fourth and fifth innings to post a 7-3 triumph and claim the | ||
| school's first baseball state championship; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Leading the way for Yoe was Zach Brashear, who | ||
| pitched a three-hit shutout in the semifinal and then continued his | ||
| excellent play in the title game, racking up three hits and coming | ||
| in as a reliever in the fifth inning to help secure the final outs of | ||
| the team's unforgettable season; in recognition of his performance, | ||
| he was named the tournament's most valuable player, while John | ||
| Rinn, Ty Morgan, Jarrett Beckhusen, and Michael Evan also made the | ||
| All-Tournament team; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Head coach John Broussard and assistant coaches Pete | ||
| Magre and Chris Reue also received valuable contributions | ||
| throughout the year from the other members of the roster: Adam | ||
| Charanza, Justin Pratt, Tyler Sapp, Colton Shelton, Jake Young, | ||
| Dylan Riola, Justin Sapp, Thomas Rinn, Josh Smitherman, Jason | ||
| Kopriva, Juan Casillas, Zach Riola, and Lorenzo Anderson; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The success of the baseball team is part of an | ||
| exceptional year for Yoe athletics, with the girls' track team | ||
| winning the state championship, and the girls' cross-country and | ||
| golf squads finishing in second place; the football team was the 2A | ||
| runner-up as well, suffering a heartbreaking loss in the | ||
| championship game, and the baseball title offers a measure of | ||
| redemption for the many students who played both sports; the | ||
| outstanding performances by the Yoemen and Lady Yoe have made their | ||
| campus one of the leading 2A contenders for the Lone Star Cup, which | ||
| goes to the school with the most success in UIL competitions; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Through their skill and determination, the Yoe High | ||
| baseball players have proven their team one of the finest in the | ||
| Lone Star State, and their achievements on the diamond in 2011 will | ||
| be fondly remembered in Cameron for many years to come; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
| Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate the C. H. Yoe | ||
| High School baseball team on winning the UIL 2A 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. | ||
