Congratulating the Boswell High School girls' basketball team on winning the 2025 UIL 6A Division 2 state championship.
Summary
H.R. 828 is a congratulatory House resolution honoring the Boswell High School girls’ basketball team from Fort Worth for winning the 2025 UIL 6A Division 2 state championship. The resolution recounts the team’s undefeated district run, its postseason victories, its first-ever appearance in the state final, and its 51-42 championship win over Hightower High School at the Alamodome in San Antonio. It also recognizes key players, including MVP Seleste Massey and all-tournament selection Camille Williams, along with the rest of the roster, coaching staff, and school leadership.
The resolution does not change state law, create new programs, or appropriate funds. Its effect is purely ceremonial: it directs that an official copy be prepared and presented to the team as an expression of the Texas House’s esteem. As a result, the bill primarily serves to formally recognize a local school achievement and to place that recognition in the legislative record.
Impact
Because H.R. 828 is a simple congratulatory resolution, it has no regulatory or fiscal impact on Texas statutes, agencies, school districts, or athletic rules. It does not amend the Education Code, UIL rules, or any other state law; instead, it functions as an official commendation from the House of Representatives to Boswell High School, its players, coaches, and staff.
Sentiment
The sentiment around the resolution is uniformly positive and celebratory. The House adopted it by non-record vote, indicating no recorded opposition and suggesting broad, routine support for honoring a state championship team. The tone of the bill text emphasizes pride, achievement, teamwork, and community recognition.
Contention
There is no substantive policy contention in the bill or the available legislative history. Any discussion would likely be limited to the appropriateness of legislative recognition for a high school sports accomplishment, but the available record shows no committee debate, no recorded votes against it, and no apparent disagreement among lawmakers. The measure appears to have moved through the Local & Consent Calendars as a noncontroversial ceremonial resolution.
