WHEREAS, The baseball team from Carlisle High School in Price
reached the pinnacle of success by winning the 2013 University
Interscholastic League 1A state championship on June 6 at Dell
Diamond in Round Rock; and
WHEREAS, Playing inspired baseball from start to finish in
2013, the Indians lost just one game in the regular season on their
way to claiming the District 20-1A title; in the playoffs, the team
reeled off victories over McLeod, Bowie, West Sabine, and Douglass
High Schools to earn their place in the state tournament, and a win
in the semifinals against Weimar allowed Carlisle to advance to the
title contest against Stamford; and
WHEREAS, Taking the mound with the state crown on the line,
Zach Brightwell allowed only three hits and struck out seven in
delivering a complete game to garner the most valuable player
honor; Carlisle broke the game open with four runs in the fifth
inning and went on to win 6-1, as Caleb Colley, Kolton Heim, Jaylan
Holland, and Ty Baker each had multiple hits during the game; and
WHEREAS, Excelling through a true team effort, the Indians
also benefited from the valuable contributions made throughout the
season by the other members of the roster: Kyle Byrd, Clay Allphin,
Ben Goss, Shadow Sanders, Dylan Sanders, Cooper Grigsby, Michael
Savala, Gunner Baker, Collin Gray, Justin McMurtry, and Dalton
Sanders; the players were guided by head coach Wesley Colley and
assistant coaches Rocky Baker and Cal Goss; and
WHEREAS, In capturing the first state baseball championship
in school history, the talented student-athletes of the Carlisle
Indians baseball team demonstrated remarkable determination and an
unwavering commitment to excellence, and they are a source of
tremendous pride to their school and to their many supporters in the
local community; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate the Carlisle
High School baseball team on winning the 2013 UIL 1A 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.
