H.R. No. 206
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Atascocita High School women's soccer team is
visiting the State Capitol on January 27, 2011, and this occasion
provides a welcome opportunity to honor its members for their
athletic and academic achievements; and
WHEREAS, For the fifth time, the Atascocita team has been
invited to play in the Lady Governor's Cup; this annual tournament
brings together 32 teams from across the state and is considered to
be one of the most competitive in Texas; and
WHEREAS, The Lady Eagles have also won acclaim for their
scholastic efforts; they have been recognized with the Team
Academic Award from the National Soccer Coaches Association of
America for two consecutive years; this honor is given to teams that
maintain an average GPA of 3.25 or higher on a 4.0 scale; last year,
Atascocita was one of only 14 Texas high school squads to receive
this accolade; and
WHEREAS, These impressive young Texans have demonstrated
remarkable determination and a true commitment to excellence, both
on the pitch and in the classroom; they bring real meaning to the
term "student-athlete" and have earned the respect and admiration
of their classmates and their many supporters in the community;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Atascocita High School women's
soccer team for being invited to play in the 11th Annual Lady
Governor's Cup and for receiving the NSCAA Team Academic Award for
two years in a row and extend to the players 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.
