H.R. No. 2264
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, During the 2016-2017 season, the boys' soccer team
of Wisdom High School in Houston continued its winning tradition by
claiming a third consecutive district championship and advancing to
the University Interscholastic League 5A state playoffs; and
WHEREAS, The Generals finished the regular season with a
perfect record in league play to capture the District 24-5A title
for the third year in a row and earn a berth in the playoffs; and
WHEREAS, In the postseason opener, the Generals took the
field against their bi-district opponent, Elkins High School; the
Wisdom High players overcame an early deficit with a clutch penalty
kick just minutes before halftime and eventually secured a 4-1 win
to move on to the area round of the playoffs; in that hard-fought
game, the team made a strong showing but ultimately fell in overtime
to Kingwood Park High, bringing a memorable year to a close; and
WHEREAS, Excelling with a true team effort, the Generals
received valuable contributions throughout the year from each
member of the roster, and these talented student-athletes were
inspired to perform at the top of their game by head coach Fidel
Andrade and his staff; and
WHEREAS, Playing with great skill and determination, the
Wisdom Generals have earned the admiration of their fellow students
and community supporters, and they may indeed reflect with great
pride on their many accomplishments; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Wisdom High School boys' soccer
team on its success during the 2016-2017 season and extend to all
those associated with the team sincere best wishes for the future;
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.
