University Interscholastic League 6A Division 2 state
championship; and
WHEREAS, The Pioneers began their journey to the title by
going undefeated in district play; continuing to excel in the
postseason, Boswell bested Southlake Carroll, El Paso Eastwood,

second quarter to take a 25-18 advantage at the half; combining a
stout defense with sharp shooting from three-point range, the
Pioneers built a 13-point lead entering the final frame; emerging
triumphant by the final score of 51-42, Boswell became the first
girls' basketball team from the Eagle Mountain-Saginaw Independent
School District to claim a state championship, and it capped the
year with an impressive 39-2 record; and
WHEREAS, Boswell was led by Seleste Massey, the championship
game Most Valuable Player who was joined by Camille Williams on the

received valuable contributions throughout the year from the other
members of the roster: Kaliyah Hyman, Kaydence Daniels, Aniya
Jones, Sydney Durrah, Haleigh Jackson, Simaii Andrews, Salena
Carrasco, and Destiny O'connor; these determined student-athletes

additional support from principal Vaughn Flagler; and
WHEREAS, Winning a state championship represents the
culmination of countless hours of hard work and an unwavering
commitment to excellence, and the Boswell Pioneers will treasure
the memory of this accomplishment for the rest of their lives; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
