| WHEREAS, The Judson High School girls' basketball team | ||
| closed out an unforgettable year in triumphant fashion by winning | ||
| the 2019 University Interscholastic League 6A state championship | ||
| on March 2 at the Alamodome; and | ||
| WHEREAS, After claiming the district crown during the | ||
| regular season, the Lady Rockets dispatched playoff foes Austin, | ||
| Northside O'Connor, Austin Westlake, and Laredo United High | ||
| Schools to reach the 6A Region IV final; prevailing 71-44 over | ||
| Northside Clark High School, Judson earned its third consecutive | ||
| trip to the state tournament in the UIL's highest classification, | ||
| the first time a San Antonio-area team has done so; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Determined to reverse the heartbreak of 2018, | ||
| when their title bid fell short by just four points, the Judson | ||
| players opened the 2019 state tournament with a 58-47 semifinal | ||
| victory over Allen High School; the team then battled DeSoto High | ||
| for the crown in a hard-fought contest that saw DeSoto take the | ||
| lead in the third quarter; showing tremendous heart down the | ||
| stretch, the Lady Rockets scored two clutch baskets and two free | ||
| throws in the final two minutes to win by a final score of 49-46; | ||
| with the victory, Judson became the first local school to claim a | ||
| girls' basketball state championship; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Judson was led by championship game Most Valuable | ||
| Player Corina Carter, who scored 20 points, and she was joined on | ||
| the 6A All-Tournament Team by Kierra Sanderlin and Kyra White; | ||
| the Lady Rockets also received valuable contributions throughout | ||
| the 2018-2019 campaign from the other members of the roster: | ||
| Keanalei Aukuso, Jonmecia Baskin, Elena Blanding, Ziyya Brown, | ||
| Teanna Huggins, Chriresha King, Elisha Mackey, Tiffany McGarity, | ||
| and Tianna Rome; these dedicated athletes were ably guided by | ||
| head coach Triva Corrales and assistant coaches Tosha Kennedy, | ||
| William McKethan, and Tamara Torru, and the squad received vital | ||
| support from director of athletics Ryanne DuPree; and | ||
| 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 Judson Lady | ||
| Rockets basketball team will treasure the memory of this | ||
| accomplishment for many years to come; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
| Legislature, hereby congratulate the Judson High School girls' | ||
| basketball team on winning the 2019 UIL 6A state championship and | ||
| extend to the team's players, coaches, and staff sincere best | ||
| wishes for the future; 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 Senate. | ||
