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 |
|
|

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. |
