R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The boys' and girls' soccer teams from Lamar High
School in Houston achieved great distinction by winning their
respective district championships for 2023; and
WHEREAS, Both squads clinched their titles on March 10 at
Butler Stadium in Houston, delivering outstanding performances
against District 18-6A rival Bellaire High School; after trailing
1-0 early in the boys' match, the Texans evened the score by
halftime and seized a 2-1 lead in the 59th minute with a corner
kick; Lamar ultimately emerged triumphant by the final score of
3-1, claiming its third consecutive league crown; and
WHEREAS, Needing only a tie against Bellaire to secure a
first-place district finish, the Lamar girls capitalized on a
direct kick in the 67th minute to produce a 1-0 victory; with the
win, the team claimed its first league championship since 2013; and
WHEREAS, Throughout the course of the regular season, both
Lamar teams received valuable contributions from each member of
their rosters; these determined student-athletes benefit from the
able leadership of boys' head coach Jeremy Davison and girls' head
coach Guy Nell; and
WHEREAS, The Lamar High School soccer teams have demonstrated
exemplary dedication and an unwavering commitment to excellence,
and they are a source of tremendous pride for their fellow students
and their many supporters in the community; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Lamar High School boys' and
girls' soccer teams on winning district championships in 2023 and
extend to the 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 teams as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
