R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The boys' golf teams of Waxahachie High School

WHEREAS, In the District 15-4A competition held on April 11
and 12 at Country View Golf Course in Lancaster, Waxahachie High
entered two teams, and they finished first and second with scores of
618 and 668; the Indians also had the three top individual scores in
the tournament, as Billy Ott led the field with a 150 while his
teammates Robert Keith and Ryan Galligan shot a 151 and a 154,
respectively; those three golfers, along with Bailey Bass, Kyle
Yates, and Colton Shelnutt, received All-District honors; and
WHEREAS, On the strength of their district play, both Indian
teams qualified for the University Interscholastic League 4A Region
II tournament at Robson Ranch in Denton; Waxahachie was the only
school at the event to be represented by two squads; and
WHEREAS, The two-day event was played on April 20 and 21, with
Team I shooting a 640 to finish third overall while Team II had a
combined score of 694 and placed 11th; once again, Mr. Ott paced the
Indians, this time shooting a 155, good for an eighth-place tie in
the tournament; head coach Ron Siebert also received strong
performances from the other members of Team I: Mr. Keith, Mr.
Galligan, Mr. Bass, and Cody Martin; the Team II lineup included Mr.
Yates, Mr. Shelnutt, Hunter Williams, Luke Wilson, and Gunther
Strength; and
WHEREAS, These talented student-athletes are a source of
great pride to their supporters in the local community, and their
strong finish to the season is indeed deserving of recognition;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Waxahachie High School boys'
golf teams on their success at the 2011 district and regional
tournaments and extend sincere best wishes to the players, coaches,
and staff for continued achievement; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the teams as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
