SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 340
WHEREAS, The girls' basketball team from Pleasant Grove
High School in Texarkana enjoyed an outstanding 2018-2019
season, capturing district and area titles and advancing all the
way to the regional semifinals in the 4A playoffs; and
WHEREAS, In the regular season, the Lady Hawks were
undefeated in district competition and collected the 15-4A
crown; they went on to secure commanding playoff victories over
Chapel Hill and Crandall High Schools before facing off against
Brownsboro in the regional quarterfinals; the teams were locked
in a hard-fought battle throughout the game, but clutch shooting
in the final minute of play earned Pleasant Grove a 54-51
victory; and
WHEREAS, The Lady Hawks then advanced to the regional
semifinal round to meet Dallas Lincoln High; the Pleasant Grove
players gave a valiant performance but ultimately fell to the
Lady Tigers, finishing the year with an impressive record of 29
wins and just four losses; and
WHEREAS, Excelling with a true team effort, the squad
received valuable contributions from each member of the roster
over the course of the 2018-2019 campaign; these dedicated
athletes benefited from the leadership of head coach Marsha
Cowling and assistant coaches Steve Morris and Chrystal
Thomas; and
WHEREAS, Through hard work and an unwavering resolve to
give their very best, the members of the Pleasant Grove Lady
Hawks basketball team earned the admiration of their fellow
students and their many community supporters, and they may indeed
reflect with pride on a job well done; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
Legislature, hereby congratulate the Pleasant Grove High School
girls' basketball team on a successful 2018-2019 season and
extend to all those associated with the team sincere best wishes
for the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be
prepared for the Lady Hawks as an expression of high regard by the
Texas Senate.
