 WHEREAS, The boys' basketball team of Edward S. Marcus High
 School in Flower Mound proved itself one of the finest squads in
 Texas and the entire nation by claiming the 2010-2011 University
 Interscholastic League 5A state championship with a victory in the
 title game on March 12; and
 WHEREAS, Playing before more than 13,000 fans at the Frank
 Erwin Center in Austin, the Marauders beat Lakeview Centennial High
 School 40-38 in a memorable and hard-fought battle that was not
 decided until the final seconds of the game; Marcus Smart was named
 the contest's most valuable player, and both he and Connor Taggart
 were named to the all-tournament team; and
 WHEREAS, With their final victory, the Marauders raised their
 record to 38 wins and just 1 loss; in the end-of-season ratings
 conducted by MaxPreps.com, Marcus was ranked as the number one
 boys' basketball team in the country; and
 WHEREAS, This outstanding season was a true team effort, with
 each member of the roster making valuable contributions; in
 addition to Mr. Smart and Mr. Taggart, the team includes Jordan
 Johnson, Phillip Forte, A. J. Luckey, Austin Bianco, Jacob
 VanNattan, Nick Banyard, Lucas Golding, and John Malone; and
 WHEREAS, These determined athletes were guided by head coach
 Danny Henderson and assistant coaches Kenny Boren and Fred Jones;
 vital support was also provided by Marcus High School principal
 Gary Shafferman and athletic coordinator Bryan Erwin; and
 WHEREAS, Success at this level can only be achieved through a
 combination of talent, dedication, and hard work, and all those
 involved in the championship effort may take justifiable pride in a
 job well done; now, therefore, be it
 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
 Legislature hereby congratulate the boys' basketball team of Marcus
 High School on winning the 2010-2011 UIL 5A state championship and
 on being named the number one team in the country and commend the
 players and coaches for their fine work this season; 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.
