WHEREAS, Adrian Martinez of the Canutillo Select junior |
|
|
varsity basketball team in El Paso became the hero of his squad's |
|
|
game against the Ellicott Hawks at the Mid America Youth Basketball |
|
|
tournament held in Pueblo, Colorado, from June 28 through 30, 2013; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, With under three minutes left in the game, the coach |
|
|
called on Mr. Martinez; he quickly stole the ball from an opposing |
|
|
player and drove the length of the court to sink a layup; next, he |
|
|
hit a three-point shot, and by the time the game ended, he had |
|
|
scored a total of nine points; the difficult three-pointer |
|
|
particularly thrilled the crowd and the other athletes, many of |
|
|
whom were jumping up and down in excitement; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This dedicated 16-year-old player practices his |
|
|
skills on a daily basis; he works especially hard on his outside |
|
|
shot, and his perseverance clearly paid off at a crucial moment; in |
|
|
addition to playing with the Select junior varsity squad, he serves |
|
|
as a manager for the Canutillo High School varsity team; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mr. Martinez is the son of Lily Davila and her |
|
|
husband, Luis, and his proud parents support and encourage him in |
|
|
all his endeavors; the oldest of three children, he also enjoys the |
|
|
love and affection of his brother, Johnny Martinez, and his sister, |
|
|
Nicky Davila; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through his steadfast commitment to his team and his |
|
|
determination to contribute to its success, Adrian Martinez has won |
|
|
the admiration of many people, and it is indeed a pleasure to honor |
|
|
this remarkable young Texan for his achievements; now, therefore, |
|
|
be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
