R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The girls' soccer team from Marcus High School in
Flower Mound furthered its tradition of excellence by winning the
2025 University Interscholastic League 6A Division 2 state
championship; and
WHEREAS, The Lady Marauders' journey to the title began with
an impressive regular-season run in which they clinched the
district championship; buoyed by their senior leadership, the
Marcus players surged through the playoffs, dispatching Plano West,
Arlington Lamar, Keller Central, and Prosper High Schools to earn
an eighth all-time trip to the state tournament; posting a
2-0 decision over Forney High School in the semifinals, Marcus
advanced to the state final; and
WHEREAS, On April 12, Marcus took the field against Houston
Stratford High School with the state title hanging in the balance;
the Lady Marauders unleashed a stout defense, holding their foe
scoreless and demonstrating tremendous poise in converting a free
kick to secure the victory; with the 1-0 triumph, Marcus captured
the third state crown in program history; and
WHEREAS, Championship game Most Valuable Player Maddie Hayes
booted in the winning goal and was joined by Madi Patterson, Ryleigh
Albin, and Aubrey Tipton on the All-Tournament Team; the Lady
Marauders also received valuable contributions throughout the year
from the other members of the roster: Avery Seitz, Drew Kimbrell,
Sydney Osterloh, Maria Stella Lepore, Gaby Yuoh, Ava Young, Brooke
Dunbar, Emma Fioretti, Ellie Hernandez, Mary Elena Clark, Madison
Rakestraw, Hannah Campos, Piper Garcia, Gabi Childress, Annika
Denning, Zoee Piscitello-Andrews, Zemira Dube, Kate Wiseman,
Rileigh Roshell, Ellexa McCullough, and Payton Stewart; these
dedicated student-athletes were ably guided by head coach Erin
Smith and assistant coaches Kate Holland, Kelsey Dierke, and Emily
Klein; and
WHEREAS, With their 2025 state championship victory, the
Marcus Lady Marauders have burnished their reputation as a soccer
powerhouse, and all those associated with the squad 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 Marcus High School girls'
soccer team on winning the 2025 UIL 6A Division 2 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.
