H.R. No. 1949
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Lorena High School softball team claimed the
District 17-3A championship with a 3-1 victory over China Spring on
April 16, 2013; and
WHEREAS, Having clinched a share of the title with a win over
West High School in their previous outing, the Lady Leopards
entered the game against China Spring with strong momentum, seeking
their first outright district crown since 2010; and
WHEREAS, Lorena struggled at the plate early in the game, but
winning pitcher Kayla Donaldson limited the opposing team to one
run to keep the score close; the Lady Leopard bats came alive in the
fifth inning as key doubles by Amber Fuchs and Cheyenne Bell, as
well as a China Spring defensive miscue, brought home three runs to
secure the victory; and
WHEREAS, Guided by Coach Steve Dolezel, the Lady Leopards
will enter the postseason with an impressive record of 23 wins and
just 5 losses, including a 9-1 mark in district play, and their
title-winning performance has earned them a first-round bye; and
WHEREAS, Winning a district championship is the result of
countless hours of hard work and an unwavering commitment to
excellence, and these talented student-athletes may take
justifiable pride in their notable accomplishment; now, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Lorena High School softball
team on winning the District 17-3A 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.
