| H.R. No. 770 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Adelyhda Perez of Uvalde High School once again | ||
| earned a place in the roll call of state champions when she won the | ||
| girls' 5A 138-pound weight division at the 2019 University | ||
| Interscholastic League Wrestling State Tournament; and | ||
| WHEREAS, "Lala" Perez began her high school wrestling career | ||
| in spectacular fashion, capturing a state title as a freshman; she | ||
| was defeated in the state final as a sophomore but returned to | ||
| championship form as a junior, besting Ashley Cook of Frisco | ||
| Liberty High School to win the trophy in the 5A 148-pound | ||
| classification in 2018; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Continuing her dominance as a senior, Ms. Perez | ||
| prevailed at regionals to earn her fourth consecutive trip to the | ||
| state tournament; joining the other top high school wrestlers at | ||
| the Berry Center in Cypress on February 22 and 23, 2019, Ms. Perez | ||
| pinned her first opponent in just 12 seconds; she then dispatched | ||
| her next two competitors to set up a rematch with Ms. Cook, this | ||
| time in the 5A 138-pound finale; Ms. Perez prevailed by a score of | ||
| 2-0 and once more experienced the thrill of having the referee raise | ||
| her arm in victory in a state title match; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In the course of compiling her distinguished high | ||
| school record of 152 wins and just 6 losses, Ms. Perez benefited | ||
| from the guidance of her coach, Nicholas Hernandez, and of her | ||
| father and trainer, John Perez, who introduced his daughter to the | ||
| sport at a young age; and | ||
| WHEREAS, By achieving the rare feat of winning three state | ||
| wrestling championships, Adelyhda Perez has become a source of | ||
| great pride to her school and community, and she will cherish the | ||
| memories of her outstanding accomplishments for the rest of her | ||
| life; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate Adelyhda Perez on winning the 2019 | ||
| wrestling state championship in the girls' 5A 138-pound weight | ||
| division and extend to her sincere best wishes for continued | ||
| success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Ms. Perez as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
| King of Uvalde | ||
