Bill > SR561

This resolution recognizes the outstanding achievement of the Boerne Little League All-Stars, a 12-and-under baseball team that advanced to the 2024 Little League Baseball World Series (LLBWS) U.S. championship game. The team accomplished this by first winning the Texas West title, then triumphing at the Southwest Region Tournament in Waco, which earned them a spot in the World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. During the tournament, they impressively won multiple games, including a 9-0 victory against Newtown, Pennsylvania, and a 4-1 win against Florida. Although they ultimately fell short in the U.S. title contest and finished fourth overall, the team demonstrated exceptional skill and teamwork. The resolution specifically acknowledges the 12 players—Dylan Burke, Ben Burkhart, Kaleb Christ, and others—along with their coaches Jonathan Collins, Bert Muñoz, and manager Justin Newson, for representing their city and state with distinction. The Texas Senate formally congratulates the team, extends best wishes for their future, and will prepare an official copy of the resolution as a testament to their remarkable accomplishment.
