they head into the postseason as the number-one seed and have
considerable momentum after racking up a total of 17 wins in the

WHEREAS, Winning a district championship is the culmination
of countless hours of hard work and dedication, and these talented
student-athletes may reflect proudly on their accomplishments as
they contend for the state title in the playoffs; now, therefore, be
it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas
