WHEREAS, The boys' soccer team from Diamond Hill-Jarvis High
School in Fort Worth enjoyed an exceptional 2020-2021 season,
advancing all the way to the University Interscholastic League 4A
state championship game; and
WHEREAS, After excelling in the regular season and claiming
the district title, the Eagles launched a dominant run in the
playoffs, dispatching Alvarado, Argyle, Midlothian Heritage, and
Stephenville High Schools to reach the regional final; there, with
a thrilling 2-1 double overtime triumph over Mineral Wells, Diamond
Hill-Jarvis made history as the first team from the Fort Worth
Independent School District to advance to the state soccer
tournament; the Eagles then bested Celina High 4-2 in the
semifinals to stake their spot in the state finale; and
WHEREAS, The Eagles vied for the state crown against Boerne
High School on April 17 at Birkelbach Field in Georgetown; while
their title bid ultimately fell short, the Diamond Hill-Jarvis
players achieved a new level of success for their school, becoming
the first Eagles squad in any sport to compete in a UIL state
championship game; they brought the year to a close with a stellar
record of 26 wins, 5 losses, and 2 ties; and
WHEREAS, Eagle players Eduardo Lopez, Edward Zuniga,
Jonathan Lopez, Ricardo Gonzalez, and Andres Montes were selected
for the 4A All-Tournament Team; Diamond Hill-Jarvis also benefited
from the valuable contributions made throughout the season by the
other members of the roster: Cesar Ortiz, Luis Jaimes, Alberto
Diosado, Luis Lopez, Jaime Rivera, Edgar Rodriguez, Juan Vega,
Hector Ramirez, Enock Dusabe, Diego Rodriguez, Cristian Alvarez,
Jovany Castruita, Pablo Villegas, Eduardo Rodriguez, and Everardo
Rodriguez; these talented student-athletes were ably guided by head
coach Kyle Reopelle and assistant coaches Daniel Rodriguez and
Andrew Sanchez; and
WHEREAS, Through hard work and an unwavering resolve to give
their very best, the Diamond Hill-Jarvis Eagles have earned the
admiration of their fellow students and their many community
supporters, and they may indeed reflect with pride on their
memorable accomplishments; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Diamond Hill-Jarvis High
School boys' soccer team on its exceptional 2020-2021 season and
extend to the team's players, coaches, and staff sincere best
wishes for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the Eagles as an expression of high regard by the Texas
