to recognize the Manning All-Star cheerleaders of South Texas, 
who recently won a national championship from the Universal

competition and competed in the small senior coed division; and
	WHEREAS, Competitive cheerleading is a challenging sport 
that requires strength, dexterity, and specialized training; 
the Manning cheerleaders captured one of the top spots at the

DeNeal Payne, and their assistant coach Megan Supak; and

tremendous pride to their families and their community, and 
their outstanding achievement is indeed worthy of legislative 
recognition; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 
79th Legislature, hereby commend the Manning All-Star 
cheerleaders and coaches for their award-winning performance 
at the Universal Cheerleaders Association national competition
