| By: Muñoz, Jr. | H.R. No. 1319 | |
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The Hidalgo Early College High School boys' soccer | ||
| team closed out an unforgettable year by winning the 2023 | ||
| University Interscholastic League 4A state championship; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Following an impressive showing during the regular | ||
| season, the Pirates continued to excel in the playoffs, besting | ||
| Rockport-Fulton, Progreso, Jubilee-Brownsville, and Austin Achieve | ||
| High Schools to reach the regional final; there, Hidalgo defeated | ||
| two-time defending state champion Boerne High to punch its ticket | ||
| to the state tournament in Georgetown; in the semifinals, the team | ||
| posted a 1-0 win over San Elizario and advanced to the state final; | ||
| and | ||
| WHEREAS, On April 14, Hidalgo battled Palestine High School | ||
| for the 4A crown at Birkelbach Field; the Pirates took command | ||
| early, racking up three goals midway through the first half and | ||
| relying on their stingy defense to seal the outcome; emerging | ||
| triumphant by the final score of 3-0, the Hidalgo players hoisted | ||
| the state championship trophy for the second time in program | ||
| history, adding to the title the school won in 2009; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Hidalgo was led by Reynaldo Cantu, the Championship | ||
| Game Most Valuable Player, who joined Ailton Cardenas, Gabriel | ||
| Ordonez, and Joaquin Rosales on the 4A All-Tournament Team; the | ||
| Pirates also received valuable contributions during the season from | ||
| the other members of the roster: Sergio Castaneda, Michael Banda, | ||
| Anthony Nava, Sebastian Yanez, Erick Montoya, Matthew Reyes, | ||
| Reynaldo Trevino, Ezekiel Gracia, Edson Montoya, Alfonso | ||
| Velazquez, Moises Moya, Angel Gonzalez, Santiago Hernandez, Caleb | ||
| Hosanna, Alan Espinoza, Pablo Almieda, Angel Rodriguez, Abiel | ||
| Guerrero, and Franco Macias; these talented student-athletes were | ||
| ably directed by head coach Esteban Alegria and assistant coaches | ||
| Guadalupe Amaya, Juan Barron, and David Slovak; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Winning a state championship represents the | ||
| culmination of countless hours of hard work and an unwavering | ||
| commitment to excellence, and the Hidalgo Pirates will treasure the | ||
| memory of this accomplishment for the rest of their lives; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the Hidalgo Early College High | ||
| School boys' soccer team on winning the 2023 UIL 4A state | ||
| championship and extend to the players, coaches, and staff sincere | ||
| best wishes for continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for the Pirates as an expression of high regard by the | ||
| Texas House of Representatives. | ||
