H.R. No. 137
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The baseball team of C. H. Yoe High School in Cameron
brought the 2011 season to a triumphant close by winning the
University Interscholastic League 2A state championship with a
victory in the title game on June 9; and
WHEREAS, After a 6-0 win over Bushland in the state
tournament semifinals, the Yoemen took the field against Central
Heights High School of Nacogdoches in the 2A final; the team
exploded for five runs in the second inning and added to their lead
in the fourth and fifth innings to post a 7-3 triumph and claim the
school's first baseball state championship; and
WHEREAS, Leading the way for Yoe was Zach Brashear, who
pitched a three-hit shutout in the semifinal and then continued his
excellent play in the title game, racking up three hits and coming
in as a reliever in the fifth inning to help secure the final outs of
the team's unforgettable season; in recognition of his performance,
he was named the tournament's most valuable player, while John
Rinn, Ty Morgan, Jarrett Beckhusen, and Michael Evan also made the
All-Tournament team; and
WHEREAS, Head coach John Broussard and assistant coaches Pete
Magre and Chris Reue also received valuable contributions
throughout the year from the other members of the roster: Adam
Charanza, Justin Pratt, Tyler Sapp, Colton Shelton, Jake Young,
Dylan Riola, Justin Sapp, Thomas Rinn, Josh Smitherman, Jason
Kopriva, Juan Casillas, Zach Riola, and Lorenzo Anderson; and
WHEREAS, The success of the baseball team is part of an
exceptional year for Yoe athletics, with the girls' track team
winning the state championship, and the girls' cross-country and
golf squads finishing in second place; the football team was the 2A
runner-up as well, suffering a heartbreaking loss in the
championship game, and the baseball title offers a measure of
redemption for the many students who played both sports; the
outstanding performances by the Yoemen and Lady Yoe have made their
campus one of the leading 2A contenders for the Lone Star Cup, which
goes to the school with the most success in UIL competitions; and
WHEREAS, Through their skill and determination, the Yoe High
baseball players have proven their team one of the finest in the
Lone Star State, and their achievements on the diamond in 2011 will
be fondly remembered in Cameron for many years to come; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate the C. H. Yoe
High School baseball team on winning the UIL 2A 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.
