	graduated from Randall High School in Amarillo and went on to enroll

	team ultimately finished as runner-up with an overall record of 39
	wins and 18 losses; and

	also compiled a .332 batting average, scored 65 runs, and notched 58
	RBIs; in recognition of his exceptional performance, he was chosen
	as the 2018 Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Year, and he

	the College World Series All-Tournament Team, the All-SEC Second
	Team, and the SEC All-Freshman Team; and
	WHEREAS, With his stellar showing in 2018, Heston Kjerstad

	with promise; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
