89(R) HR 1263 - Enrolled version - Bill Text

H.R. No. 1263

R E S O L U T I O N

WHEREAS, The boys' lacrosse team from Highland Park High

School in Dallas once again proved itself one of the finest in the

Lone Star State by winning the 2025 Texas High School Lacrosse

League Class AA state title; and

WHEREAS, Following an impressive performance during the

regular season, the Scots continued to excel in the playoffs,

igniting their championship run by overpowering Cypress Woods High

School 20-7 in the super regional round; they then recorded a

dominant 11-3 win over Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas

in the semifinals to earn a coveted berth in the title contest; and

WHEREAS, On May 11, Highland Park battled The Episcopal

School of Dallas for the state crown on its home field at Highlander

Stadium; in command early, the Scots went on the offensive to take a

5-0 advantage at intermission; exhibiting tremendous composure

under pressure after their foe produced four unanswered goals in

the second half, the Scots closed the game on a 3-0 run to seal the

outcome; triumphing by the final score of 8-4, Highland Park

celebrated the program's second lacrosse state crown over the past

two years and its 13th all-time; the Scots finished the year with an

outstanding 18-3 record; and

WHEREAS, Highland Park was led by Duncan Zielke, the

tournament Overall Most Valuable Player, who scored three goals;

Harrison Brown also netted three scores to earn Offensive MVP

honors, and Jackson Bond was named the Defensive MVP; the Scots also

received valuable contributions during their campaign from the

other members of the roster; these talented student-athletes

benefited from the able direction of head coach Mike Pressler; and

WHEREAS, By accomplishing the rare feat of winning a 13th

lacrosse state championship, the Highland Park Scots have burnished

their reputation as a powerhouse in the sport, and they are a source

of great pride to their classmates and their many supporters in the

community; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas

Legislature hereby congratulate the Highland Park High School boys'

lacrosse team on winning the 2025 THSLL Class AA 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 Scots as an expression of high regard by the Texas

House of Representatives.
