WHEREAS, The girls' water polo team from Brazoswood High | ||
School in Clute reached the pinnacle of success by winning the 6A | ||
championship at the 2024 University Interscholastic League Water | ||
Polo State Tournament; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Lady Buccaneers dropped just two regular-season | ||
games and clinched the District 12-6A title; they continued to | ||
excel in the playoffs, besting Houston Clear Lake, La Porte, League | ||
City Clear Springs, Cypress Creek, and Pearland Dawson High Schools | ||
to punch their ticket to state for the third consecutive year; and | ||
WHEREAS, On October 25, at the Josh Davis Natatorium in San | ||
Antonio, Brazoswood prevailed 14-8 over Southlake Carroll High in | ||
the semifinals; the next day, the Lady Bucs battled two-time | ||
defending state champion Richmond Foster High School for the 6A | ||
state crown in what proved to be a nail-biting showdown; trailing by | ||
three entering the fourth quarter, they staged an impressive | ||
comeback, scoring four goals to force overtime; Brazoswood threw in | ||
two shots in the first extra period to take the advantage and then | ||
dialed up the defensive pressure to hold its opponent scoreless in | ||
the second OT; triumphing by the final score of 11-9, the team | ||
brought home the school's first state title in girls' water polo and | ||
ended with an outstanding record of 28-2; and | ||
WHEREAS, Brazoswood was led in the state final by Most | ||
Valuable Player Mallory Kesler, and she was joined on the 6A | ||
All-Tournament Team by Gigi Lower and Hope Kadlecik; the Lady | ||
Buccaneers also received vital contributions during the year from | ||
the other members of the roster: Jaycie Fort, Kendall Dane, Sarah | ||
Mitterling, Lexie Mican, Anna Reuschle, Emma Meservy, Sophia | ||
Guajardo, Allie Jones, Therese Braun, Larissa Bracken, Emerson | ||
Montgomery, Michelle Ebey, Ava Crisp, Lucy Sanchez, Cooper Dane, | ||
and Kesleigh Corn; these talented student-athletes were guided by | ||
head coach Robert Brown and assistant coach Kiel Haner; and | ||
WHEREAS, Winning a state championship represents the | ||
culmination of countless hours of hard work and an unwavering | ||
commitment to excellence, and the Brazoswood Lady Bucs may indeed | ||
reflect with pride on a job well done; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate the Brazoswood High School girls' | ||
water polo team on winning the 2024 UIL 6A state championship and | ||
extend to the 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. |
