R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The members of the Granbury High School Marine Corps
Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps rifle team reached the
pinnacle of success by winning the 2018 National Air Rifle League
Championship Tournament; and
WHEREAS, Undefeated in the regular season, Granbury claimed
the Junior ROTC Conference title and entered the national
tournament as the top seed; the team lived up to its billing by
posting victories over Piedra Vista High School AJROTC in the
quarterfinals and Rio Salado Sportsman's Club in the semifinals to
earn a berth in the tournament finale; and
WHEREAS, With the title on the line, Granbury faced off
against the Georgia Competitive Shooters, who had defeated the
Texas team in the 2017 semifinals and the 2015 championship game;
emerging triumphant in the rematch, Granbury overcame its rival by
a score of 2,346 to 2,338 to capture its first National Air Rifle
League championship; Allison Henry turned in outstanding
performances in all three games and received the Most Valuable
Player honor, and Makenzie Sheffield led the team with a score of
592 in the finals; and
WHEREAS, Ably guided by Lieutenant Colonel Scott Casey, the
Granbury team also received valuable contributions from the other
members of the roster: Philip Becker, Clarissa Layland, M'Leah
Lambdin, Jakob Rankin, and Elizabeth Plecity; and
WHEREAS, The talented and dedicated members of the Granbury
Marine Corps Junior ROTC rifle team have realized an exceptional
accomplishment, and they may take justifiable pride in earning this
coveted national title; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Granbury High School Marine
Corps Junior ROTC rifle team on winning the National Air Rifle
League Championship Tournament and extend to the team's players,
coaches, and staff sincere best wishes for the future; 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.
