|
WHEREAS, The Danbury High School Lady Panthers softball team |
|
captured the University Interscholastic League 2A state |
|
championship with a victory in the title game on June 4, 2011, in |
|
Austin; and |
|
WHEREAS, In the course of this memorable season, the Lady |
|
Panthers came to epitomize teamwork, dedication, and skill, as they |
|
finished with an outstanding record of 39 wins and just 3 losses and |
|
sailed through the playoffs, scoring a total of 74 runs while |
|
holding their opponents to just 13; and |
|
WHEREAS, Earning special recognition for their performance |
|
in the state tournament were seniors Britiany Bailey, Macy Peltier, |
|
Kristin Yaeger, Shelby Scott, and Ashley Noak, all of whom were |
|
named to the All-Tournament Team; in addition, sophomore Kaylee |
|
Garner was another All-Tournament honoree, and she received the |
|
championship game's Most Valuable Player award after throwing 15 |
|
strikeouts in the title-winning victory over Central Heights High |
|
of Nacogdoches; and |
|
WHEREAS, Excelling with a true team effort, the Lady Panthers |
|
also received valuable contributions throughout the year from the |
|
other members of the roster: Lillie Box, Cassidy Munson, Abbie Box, |
|
Megan Bang, Kelsey Sellers, Meagan Harvey, Taylor Vrazel, Monica |
|
Brown, and Lana Townsend; and |
|
WHEREAS, These determined athletes were guided by head coach |
|
Melissa Hansen and assistant coach Tim Ender, and they also |
|
benefited from the support of managers Makenna Peltier, Bela |
|
Elizondo, Katie Staff, Kaitlin Dorsett, and Kara Williams, athletic |
|
trainer Gregg Bautsch, and athletic director Jimmy Thomas; and |
|
WHEREAS, To attain the season-long goal of becoming state |
|
champions, each of the Danbury players was called on to perform at |
|
the top of her game, and the team's success is the culmination of |
|
countless hours of hard work; the 2011 state softball title is the |
|
second for Danbury High as well as for Coach Hansen, who led the |
|
team to the championship in 2004; and |
|
WHEREAS, The Lady Panthers have distinguished themselves as |
|
the finest 2A softball team in the Lone Star State, and in so doing, |
|
they have brought recognition to their school and become a source of |
|
pride for their classmates and for residents of Danbury and |
|
Brazoria County; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate the Danbury |
|
High School Lady Panthers softball team on winning the UIL 2A state |
|
championship and extend to the team's players, coaches, and staff |
|
sincere best wishes for continued achievement; 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. |
