WHEREAS, The Lago Vista High School baseball team has
distinguished itself through its recent record of success, and the
squad is indeed deserving of special recognition; and
WHEREAS, After advancing to the regional finals in 2015 and
the regional semifinals in 2016, the Vikings were slated number one
in the 2017 preseason rankings for Class 3A, in part due to the
return of a number of talented veterans; the team has lived up to
these expectations in its early-season contests, winning the Lake
Shore Classic baseball tournament in March; and
WHEREAS, This year's lineup has featured several
student-athletes who have already attained notable success during
their high school careers; ranked among the top 10 players in Class
3A, senior Alex DeLeon received the 2016 District Most Valuable
Player Award, and he has been joined by senior Collin Docker in
twice receiving All-State and All-Central Texas honors; moreover,
Mr. DeLeon and Mr. Docker, along with seniors Bryce Hardway, Jake
Loyd, and Jayten Alexander, were named to the 2016 All-District
First Team, while three of their teammates were chosen to the
All-District Second Team; and
WHEREAS, The Vikings have also received essential
contributions during the 2017 season from the other members of the
roster: Zach Callan, TJ Hovey, Zane Callan, Logan Knab, Dylan
McKee, Isaac Rohne, Clayton Leggett, Jordan Owen, Tyler Emanuel,
Brayden Clark, Jakob Harm, Caleb Roach, and Jake Hurley; the team
has been ably guided by head coach Brandon Grant and assistant
coaches Steve Searle and Brian Goodman; and
WHEREAS, These dedicated players have earned the respect and
admiration of their many supporters in the community, and they may
indeed reflect with pride on their recent accomplishments as they
look ahead to the remainder of the 2017 campaign; now, therefore, be
it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby commend the Lago Vista High School baseball team
on its many achievements 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.
