H.R. No. 91
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The girls' water polo team from Brazoswood High
School in Clute reached the pinnacle of success by winning the 6A
championship at the 2024 University Interscholastic League Water
Polo State Tournament; and
WHEREAS, The Lady Buccaneers dropped just two regular-season
games and clinched the District 12-6A title; they continued to
excel in the playoffs, besting Houston Clear Lake, La Porte, League
City Clear Springs, Cypress Creek, and Pearland Dawson High Schools
to punch their ticket to state for the third consecutive year; and
WHEREAS, On October 25, at the Josh Davis Natatorium in San
Antonio, Brazoswood prevailed 14-8 over Southlake Carroll High in
the semifinals; the next day, the Lady Bucs battled two-time
defending state champion Richmond Foster High School for the 6A
state crown in what proved to be a nail-biting showdown; trailing by
three entering the fourth quarter, they staged an impressive
comeback, scoring four goals to force overtime; Brazoswood threw in
two shots in the first extra period to take the advantage and then
dialed up the defensive pressure to hold its opponent scoreless in
the second OT; triumphing by the final score of 11-9, the team
brought home the school's first state title in girls' water polo and
ended with an outstanding record of 28-2; and
WHEREAS, Brazoswood was led in the state final by Most
Valuable Player Mallory Kesler, and she was joined on the 6A
All-Tournament Team by Gigi Lower and Hope Kadlecik; the Lady
Buccaneers also received vital contributions during the year from
the other members of the roster: Jaycie Fort, Kendall Dane, Sarah
Mitterling, Lexie Mican, Anna Reuschle, Emma Meservy, Sophia
Guajardo, Allie Jones, Therese Braun, Larissa Bracken, Emerson
Montgomery, Michelle Ebey, Ava Crisp, Lucy Sanchez, Cooper Dane,
and Kesleigh Corn; these talented student-athletes were guided by
head coach Robert Brown and assistant coach Kiel Haner; and
WHEREAS, Winning a state championship represents the
culmination of countless hours of hard work and an unwavering
commitment to excellence, and the Brazoswood Lady Bucs may indeed
reflect with pride on a job well done; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Brazoswood High School girls'
water polo team on winning the 2024 UIL 6A state championship and
extend to the 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.
