R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The girls' soccer team from Wakeland High School in
Frisco claimed the University Interscholastic League 4A state
championship with a 2-1 victory in the title match on April 16,
2011, in Georgetown; and
WHEREAS, In besting Vista Ridge High of Cedar Park to win the
first girls' state title in school history, Wakeland received goals
from Ashley Kingston and Katey Carmichael, and Ms. Carmichael was

goalkeeper Brittanie Barbero and the other Wolverine defenders; and

Meagan Wilson provided exceptional leadership, guiding the squad to
an outstanding record of 25 wins, 2 losses, and 1 tie; and
WHEREAS, Winning a state championship is the dream of every
high school athlete, and the memory of this significant achievement
will remain with these dedicated student-athletes for the rest of
their lives; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Wakeland High School girls'
soccer team on winning the 2011 UIL 4A 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.
