H.R. No. 2114
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The boys' basketball team of James Madison High
School in Dallas closed out the 2016-2017 season in triumphant
fashion by claiming the University Interscholastic League 3A state
championship on March 11 at the Alamodome in San Antonio; and
WHEREAS, The Trojans combined a strong defense with precision
shooting to go undefeated in district play, and they compiled an
overall season record of 28 wins and just 8 losses; during their
impressive playoff run, they dispatched opponents from
Scurry-Rosser, Van Alstyne, Edgewood, Mount Vernon, and Ponder High
Schools before advancing to the state tournament, where they earned
a dominant victory over Santa Rosa High School in the semifinals;
and
WHEREAS, The score remained close throughout the hard-fought
finale against Brock High School, but the Trojans overcame a
halftime deficit and ultimately clinched a 42-36 win and the state
crown; the victory was led by Patrick Terry, who was named the
championship game's Most Valuable Player after tallying 18 points
and 10 rebounds; Mr. Terry was joined on the All-Tournament Team by
fellow Trojans JeMichael Bowens and Desmond Scott; and
WHEREAS, The squad also received valuable contributions
throughout the season from the other members of the roster: Steven
Bagley, Quintarius Johnson, Mekiyel Hill, Marvelle Wilson, Marcus
Cobin-Hill, Jaylin Thibodeaux-Levels, Jamarus Elliot, Jacolby
Sims, Dye'Shun King, Donyea Jefferson, Derrious Kinney, Deaudea
Choice, and Bakari Rabb; these talented student-athletes were ably
guided by head coach Damon Barnett and assistant coaches James
Spindle and Olivia Williams, and they further benefited from the
support of athletic trainer Charles Kaiser, statistician Kriston
Johnson, and managers Travion Jackson and De'Mondre Durrough; and
WHEREAS, Through a formidable combination of talent, skill,
and hard work, the Dallas Madison Trojans realized their
season-long goal of winning the state title, and the team and its
coaches and staff may take justifiable pride in a job well done;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the James Madison High School boys'
basketball team on winning the UIL 3A state championship and extend
to all those associated with the team 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.
