5	5	WHEREAS, The girls' soccer team from Celina High School once

7	7	University Interscholastic League 4A state title; and
8	8	WHEREAS, Entering the season as the defending state
9	9	champions, the Bobcats took up where they left off, and over the
10	10	course of the 2022-2023 campaign, they scored more than 200 goals
11	11	while surrendering just 10; after posting an unblemished record
12	12	during the regular schedule, the team began its playoff run with
13	13	commanding wins over Nevada Community, Pinkston, Mabank,
14	14	Jacksonville, and Anna High Schools to advance to the state
15	15	tournament in Georgetown for the third consecutive year; in the
16	16	semifinals against Boerne, Celina won by a score of 2-0 to claim a
17	17	berth in the title game; and
18	18	WHEREAS, On April 13, Celina took the field against
19	19	previously undefeated Stephenville High School with the state crown
20	20	on the line; powered by their explosive offense, the Bobcats
21	21	knocked in five goals before intermission and never looked back;
22	22	the team ultimately triumphed 8-1 and set several Class 4A records
23	23	in the process, including most goals and assists in a championship
24	24	game; with the victory, Celina extended its winning streak to 50
25	25	games and became the third girls' team in UIL history to finish a
26	26	season with no losses and no ties on its record; and
27	27	WHEREAS, Championship Game Most Valuable Player Lexi Tuite
28	28	set the state tournament mark for goals in the title match with
29	29	five, and she was joined on the 4A All-Tournament team by Brielle

39	39	Prescott; and
40	40	WHEREAS, By winning back-to-back state championships, the
41	41	Celina Bobcats have burnished the school's reputation as a
42	42	powerhouse of the pitch, and this achievement will be fondly
43	43	remembered for many years to come; now, therefore, be it
44	44	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
45	45	Legislature hereby congratulate the Celina High School girls'
46	46	soccer team on winning the 2023 UIL 4A state championship and extend
