WHEREAS, The Douglass High School boys' basketball team
enjoyed an outstanding 2012-2013 season, advancing all the way to
the University Interscholastic League 1A Division 2 state
championship game on March 9 at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin;
and
WHEREAS, Guided by head coach Mark Leuschner, the Indians
compiled a stellar record of 30 wins to just 7 defeats; their
thrilling run through the postseason included victories over
Fayetteville, Calvert, Menard, and Oakwood High Schools to advance
to the state tournament for the first time in school history; in the
semifinals, they once again demonstrated their stout defense and
productive scoring attack, and the team's commanding 53-44 triumph
over Water Valley earned Douglass a place in the title contest; and
WHEREAS, Squaring off against Roxton with the state crown
hanging in the balance, the Indians put forth a valiant effort
behind the 45 combined points of brothers Reed and Bryce Westbrook
but ultimately fell by a score of 60-54; and
WHEREAS, The dedicated student-athletes of the Douglass High
basketball team proved themselves one of the top 1A squads in Texas
during 2013, and they may reflect with pride on their notable
accomplishments; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate the Douglass
High School boys' basketball team on reaching the UIL 1A Division 2
state championship game and extend to the team's players and
coaching 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.
