| H.R. No. 1631 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The boys' soccer team from Bel Air High School in El | ||
| Paso reached the pinnacle of success by winning the University | ||
| Interscholastic League 5A state title on April 20, 2019; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The championship victory closed out a memorable year | ||
| in which the Highlanders compiled an exceptional overall record of | ||
| 28 wins and only 1 loss; after claiming the District 2-5A title, | ||
| they carried their momentum into the postseason, defeating | ||
| Canutillo High School 4-0 in the opening round of the playoffs; | ||
| subsequent victories over Amarillo, Eastlake, Burleson, and Lake | ||
| Dallas High Schools secured the team's spot in the state tournament | ||
| for the first time in school history; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In the semifinals, Bel Air bested Pharr Valley View | ||
| in a nail-biting penalty kick shootout to advance to the title | ||
| showdown against the defending 5A champions from Frisco Wakeland | ||
| High School; in that contest, the teams were locked in a 1-1 tie | ||
| after the first half of play, but a Highlander goal with just over | ||
| 17 minutes remaining proved the game winner, as the Bel Air defense | ||
| held fast to secure the state crown; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Guided by head coach Sergio Delgado and assistant | ||
| coaches Bryan Carbajal and Pedro Lugo, the Highlanders received | ||
| valuable contributions throughout the year from each member of the | ||
| roster: Omar Zamora, Bryan Guzman, Jose Gurrola, Jose Gonzalez, | ||
| Jaime Cisneros, Oliver Lechuga, Ivar Arroyo, Luis Valenzuela, | ||
| Gonzalo Padilla, Manuel Castellanos, Brayan Palomec, Bryan | ||
| Gutierrez, Cedric Carbajal, Brandon Valles, Joshua Santoyo, Yair | ||
| Alcantar, Hector Prieto, Eduardo Mata, Ernesto Robles, Juan | ||
| Contreras, Jamil Arroyo, Noel Rios, Sebastian Gonzalez, and Oscar | ||
| Valenzuela; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Bel Air's state championship triumph represents the | ||
| culmination of countless hours of hard work and an unwavering | ||
| commitment to excellence, and the athletes and their many | ||
| supporters in the local community will treasure the memory of this | ||
| accomplishment for years to come; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the boys' soccer team from Bel Air | ||
| High School on winning the 2019 UIL 5A state championship and extend | ||
| to the players, coaches, and staff sincere best wishes for the | ||
| future; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the Highlanders as an expression of high regard by the | ||
| Texas House of Representatives. | ||
