“Mr. Speaker, I want today to recognize the Lady Broncos, Denton High School's women's soccer team, for winning their first State title this past Saturday. Freshman Ashley Hornisher scored the game-winning goal after receiving a corner kick from sophomore Lisa Stephens in order to win the Class A State championship. Coach Iseed Khoury, who led the Lady Broncos in a 28-2 season, said ``This is the result of all the hard work our kids have put in over the years. We're a powerhouse now.'' Denton senior Julie Naugher, a midfielder, was named the State tournament's Most Valuable Player. Ashley Wilson, a sophomore midfielder, sent a free kick from 40 yards out to Naugher in the box, who then headed the ball into the goal to tie the game in the first half. Mr. Speaker, I especially want to recognize the Denton Lady Bronco seniors: Erin Cadenhead, Jennifer Dower, Julie Naugher, Annie Lowe, Callie Lawing, JennMia Nilsson, Katherine Clark, Christine Hornisher, and Bente Bekkhus. I hope my colleagues will join me in honoring these fine young ladies and congratulating them on a season of hard work and commitment that paid off.”
