  H.R. No. 1631
 
 
 
R E S O L U T I O N
 
         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.
