WHEREAS, Melissa Henderson has deservedly been named the |
|
2006-2007 Gatorade National Girls Soccer Player of the Year; and |
|
WHEREAS, During her junior year at Berkner High School in |
|
Richardson, Ms. Henderson led her team to the Class 5A Region 2 |
|
quarterfinals and an 18-11 record; she has also demonstrated |
|
excellence as a member of the cross-country, basketball, and track |
|
teams, and she is further committed to excelling in academics and |
|
her extracurricular endeavors, including student council and |
|
debate; and |
|
WHEREAS, Already the Lady Rams' all-time leader in goals |
|
scored with 66, this dynamic young student-athlete logged 24 goals |
|
and 12 assists during the 2006-2007 season; that feat is all the |
|
more impressive considering that she spent significant time at the |
|
defensive sweeper position and missed six games while fulfilling |
|
her obligations with the U.S. Soccer Federation Under-17 and |
|
Under-20 National Teams; and |
|
WHEREAS, The Gatorade National Player of the Year award is |
|
recognized as one of the most coveted in all of high school sports, |
|
and Ms. Henderson's receipt of this noteworthy honor has placed her |
|
in the distinguished company of some of America's finest athletes; |
|
with her winning combination of physical skill, infectious |
|
enthusiasm, and mental agility and focus, she will undoubtedly |
|
continue to excel as she tackles new challenges in the world of |
|
soccer; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Melissa Henderson on her selection |
|
as the 2006-2007 Gatorade National Girls Soccer Player of the Year |
|
and extend to her sincere best wishes for a bright and promising |
|
future; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for Ms. Henderson as an expression of high regard by the |
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
