SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 705
|
|
|
WHEREAS, Jonathan Ledesma of the Mineola High School boys' |
|
|
soccer team wrote his name into the history books with his |
|
|
exceptional performance during the 2024-2025 season; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Showcasing a rare combination of speed and |
|
|
strength, Mr. Ledesma scored 51 goals over 19 games in his senior |
|
|
campaign, the most by any scholastic soccer player in Texas on |
|
|
the year; often facing double-team and even triple-team defenses |
|
|
from frustrated opponents, he worked himself into scoring |
|
|
position time and again, leading the Yellowjackets to the |
|
|
bi-district championship of the University Interscholastic |
|
|
League 4A playoffs; his 51 scores topped all classifications in |
|
|
the state and ranked third nationally, and his 2.7 goals per |
|
|
match easily eclipsed the national average of 0.5 in that |
|
|
category; he also recorded 17 assists; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, After starting for two years as a member of the |
|
|
Rockport-Fulton High School soccer squad, Mr. Ledesma |
|
|
transferred to Mineola for his junior season; the midfielder has |
|
|
committed to continue his athletic career at Nelson University in |
|
|
Waxahachie, with the ultimate goal of competing professionally |
|
|
in Major League Soccer; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Through his skill, determination, and unwavering |
|
|
commitment to excellence, Jonathan Ledesma has become a source of |
|
|
great pride to his many supporters in the Mineola community, and |
|
|
he is indeed deserving of recognition for his accomplishments on |
|
|
the soccer field; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby congratulate Jonathan Ledesma on scoring the |
|
|
most goals at the scholastic soccer level in Texas for the |
|
|
2024-2025 season and extend to him sincere best wishes for |
|
|
continued success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Ledesma as an expression of high regard from the |
|
|
Texas Senate. |
