| WHEREAS, On March 5 at the San Antonio Alamodome, Gruver took | ||
| the floor against Stamford High School; the Lady Hounds were in | ||
| command from the outset, showcasing a balanced scoring attack as | ||
| they built a 23-14 halftime advantage and a 36-26 lead entering the | ||
| fourth quarter; emerging triumphant by the final score of 50-38, | ||
| Gruver claimed the school's second 2A state title and closed out the | ||

| WHEREAS, The Lady Hounds were led by Bailey Maupin, the | ||
| championship game Most Valuable Player, who was joined by Callie | ||
| Conyers on the 2A All-Tournament Team; Gruver also received | ||

| of the roster: Camryn Armes, Brenna Butler, Brooklyn Vasquez, | ||
| Jaylee Lane, Maizie Kelp, Kimber Whitehead, Kinley Callaway, Hannon | ||
| Lankford, Kami Whitehead, and Allie Sparks; these talented | ||
| student-athletes benefited from the able leadership of head coach | ||
| Trent Lankford and assistant coaches Jill Butler, Terry Davis, | ||

| WHEREAS, Winning a state championship represents the | ||
| culmination of countless hours of hard work and an unwavering | ||
| commitment to excellence, and the members of the Gruver Lady Hounds | ||
| basketball team will treasure the memory of this accomplishment for | ||
| the rest of their lives; now, therefore, be it | ||
