WHEREAS, The girls' basketball team of Wylie High School in
Abilene brought the 2010-2011 season to a triumphant conclusion on
March 5, when it claimed the University Interscholastic League 3A
state championship; and
WHEREAS, In their 66-58 victory over Lovejoy High School of
Lucas, the Lady Bulldogs were led by junior Peyton Little, who
scored 43 points, the second-highest total ever recorded in a 3A
playoff game; Ms. Little also had five steals, four rebounds, and
four assists and was named the game's most valuable player; senior
Natalie Davis added 11 points and 8 rebounds, while freshman Bailey
Turner scored 6 points; and
WHEREAS, This was the second consecutive appearance in the
championship game for Wylie High, which lost a heartbreaking
overtime contest to Liberty Eylau High School in 2010; refusing to
be denied, the team dedicated itself to the goal of returning to the
state tournament this season, and the Lady Bulldogs' exceptional
play resulted in the third girls' basketball title in school
history; and
WHEREAS, Winning a state championship represents the
culmination of countless hours of hard work and an enduring
commitment to excellence, and these talented student-athletes and
coach Tri Danley may take justifiable pride in this accomplishment;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Wylie High School Lady Bulldogs
basketball team on winning the UIL 3A state championship and extend
to the team's 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.
