commitment, persistence, practice, and coaching; and

track and field championship, and one basketball championship; and
WHEREAS, the girls of Hackberry High School have indeed set a lofty standard for
young women following in their footsteps in any of these sports; and
WHEREAS, leading the Hackberry High School girls in their athletic endeavors
since 2011 have been Destiny Simon, Jolie Trahan, Mattie Stine, and Skylar Jinks; and
WHEREAS, Simon, Trahan, and Stine played all three sports for all of their four
years in high school, basketball, softball, and track and field; Jinks played basketball and
participated in track and field for all four years; and
WHEREAS, the commitment of these and all the girls at Hackberry High School
who participate in multiple sports is particularly evident in the fact that softball and track and
field are played at the same time, requiring long hours of practice for each of these distinct
sports; and
WHEREAS, Simon, Stine, Trahan, and Jinks have earned the confidence which they
demonstrate and they are appropriately proud of the recognition they have earned for their
high school and their town; and SCR NO. 147 ENROLLED
