H.R. No. 918
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Shelbyville High School boys' basketball team
reached the pinnacle of success by winning the 2019 University
Interscholastic League 2A state championship on March 9 at the
Alamodome in San Antonio; and
WHEREAS, Following a disappointing loss in the 2018 state
tournament semifinals, the Dragons came back with a vengeance
during the 2018-2019 campaign; they were undefeated in district
play and went on to dominate in the playoffs, defeating Gary,
Hull-Daisetta, Cushing, Lovelady, and Grapeland High Schools to
once again punch their ticket to the state tournament; in their
semifinal matchup, they overwhelmed Hearne by a score of 83-51,
setting the stage for a showdown with Gruver High for the
championship crown; and
WHEREAS, Though Gruver took the lead in the game's opening
minutes, Shelbyville took command with a 19-2 run later in the first
quarter and never looked back; the Dragons stayed true to their
reputation as an offensive powerhouse, leading by as many as 24
points in the second half, and winning by a final tally of 67-48;
the team rounded out an exceptional season with an overall record of
39-3 and collected its first state championship since 1984; and
WHEREAS, Excelling with a true team effort, the Dragons
received valuable contributions throughout the year from each
member of the roster: Marcus Horton, L. D. Coleman, Kolby Parker,
Jay Buckley, A. J. Cartwright, Kaleb Campbell, Jekevian Calhoun,
Jordan Boykins, Kurtric Allen, Buddy McClelland, Cole Ferguson,
John Quintero, Jaylon Brinson, Colt Leach, Kel Wilson, and Keyshawn
McCollister; these dedicated athletes benefited from the
leadership of head coach David Schmitt and assistant coaches Joe
Boykins and Christopher Moore; and
WHEREAS, Through hard work and an unwavering resolve to give
their very best, the members of the Shelbyville Dragons basketball
team have proven themselves the finest 2A team in the Lone Star
State, and they may indeed reflect with pride on a job well done;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Shelbyville High School boys'
basketball team on winning the 2019 UIL 2A 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.
