R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Plano East senior soccer player Lee Nguyen has been 
selected as the 2004 Gatorade National High School Player of the 
Year for his contributions on and off the soccer field; and
	WHEREAS, A 5-foot, 8-inch, midfielder/forward, Mr. Nguyen 
led the Panthers with 22 goals and 18 assists in 2004, giving him 42 
goals and 33 assists in two years; named to the 2004 Parade magazine 
All-American team, he plays on the U.S. Under-18 National Team; in 
January, while competing in the Copa Chivas Youth Tournament in 
Mexico, Mr. Nguyen scored a goal in the American team's 
come-from-behind victory over Holland; and
	WHEREAS, In addition to acknowledging remarkable performance 
on the playing field, the Gatorade Player of the Year award 
emphasizes overall character and academic accomplishment; this 
exemplary young Texan's work ethic in the classroom has enabled him 
to maintain a 3.9 GPA and hold membership in the National Honor 
Society; moreover, Mr. Nguyen does volunteer work with   
handicapped children; and
	WHEREAS, This outstanding student-athlete joins an 
impressive list of Gatorade honorees that includes such sports 
luminaries as LeBron James and Peyton Manning, making him a source 
of tremendous pride to his teammates and fellow students at Plano 
East High School, his soccer coach Rick Woodard, and his family; 
now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 79th Texas 
Legislature hereby congratulate Lee Nguyen on being named the 2004 
Gatorade National High School Player of the Year and extend to him 
best wishes for continued success as a student-athlete at Indiana 
University; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Mr. Nguyen as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.
