||
| WHEREAS, Elizabeth Windon and Jacob Rowe, two outstanding | ||
| tennis players from Kirbyville High School, were named 2013 SETX | ||
| Players of the Year by the Southeast Texas Coaches Association; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Both Ms. Windon and Mr. Rowe excelled during team | ||
| tennis competition, winning all of their matches and helping the | ||
| Wildcats to finish seventh in the state in Class 2A; the duo also | ||
| emerged as title contenders in mixed-doubles play; following a | ||
| first-place win at the Woodville Tournament, they claimed the | ||
| district title and then went on to become regional champions by | ||
| defeating the team from White Oak on April 19; their success in the | ||
| regional competition earned them a place in the University | ||
| Interscholastic League State Tournament, where their season drew to | ||
| a close with a hard-fought loss in the 2A quarterfinals; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In addition to representing their school with great | ||
| distinction on the court, these notable young Texans have excelled | ||
| in their studies, and both are looking ahead to college after having | ||
| graduated with the Class of 2013 at Kirbyville; Ms. Windon plans to | ||
| attend Texas A&M University to pursue a degree in horticulture, a | ||
| subject that she focused on during four years of high school | ||
| agriculture classes, while Mr. Rowe intends to study electrical | ||
| engineering at Lamar University; and | ||
| WHEREAS, These talented student-athletes have earned a place | ||
| among the finest high school tennis players in the Lone Star State, | ||
| and they may reflect with pride on their achievements and on the | ||
| prestigious recognition that they have received; now, therefore, be | ||
| it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
| Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Elizabeth | ||
| Windon and Jacob Rowe on their receipt of SETX Player of the Year | ||
| awards from the Southeast Texas Coaches Association and extend to | ||
| them sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared | ||
| for Ms. Windon and Mr. Rowe as an expression of high regard by the | ||
| Texas House of Representatives. | ||
