H.R. No. 206

R E S O L U T I O N

WHEREAS, The Atascocita High School women's soccer team is

visiting the State Capitol on January 27, 2011, and this occasion

provides a welcome opportunity to honor its members for their

athletic and academic achievements; and

WHEREAS, For the fifth time, the Atascocita team has been

invited to play in the Lady Governor's Cup; this annual tournament

brings together 32 teams from across the state and is considered to

be one of the most competitive in Texas; and

WHEREAS, The Lady Eagles have also won acclaim for their

scholastic efforts; they have been recognized with the Team

Academic Award from the National Soccer Coaches Association of

America for two consecutive years; this honor is given to teams that

maintain an average GPA of 3.25 or higher on a 4.0 scale; last year,

Atascocita was one of only 14 Texas high school squads to receive

this accolade; and

WHEREAS, These impressive young Texans have demonstrated

remarkable determination and a true commitment to excellence, both

on the pitch and in the classroom; they bring real meaning to the

term "student-athlete" and have earned the respect and admiration

of their classmates and their many supporters in the community;

now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas

Legislature hereby congratulate the Atascocita High School women's

soccer team for being invited to play in the 11th Annual Lady

Governor's Cup and for receiving the NSCAA Team Academic Award for

two years in a row and extend to the players sincere best wishes for

continued success; and, be it further

RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be

prepared for the team as an expression of high regard by the Texas

House of Representatives.
