Carrollton Ranchview, Fort Worth Benbrook, and Stephenville High | ||

the rest of the way, building an insurmountable lead and giving all | ||
of their players the thrilling experience of competing in a state | ||
championship contest; triumphing by the final score of 6-0, | ||
Heritage claimed its second 4A title, having previously hoisted the | ||
trophy in 2018; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Jaguars were paced by Jules Burrows, who booted | ||
in three goals and was named the championship game Most Valuable | ||
Player; she was joined on the 4A All-Tournament Team by Rachel | ||

and Joshua Jones; and | ||
WHEREAS, Winning a state championship represents the | ||
culmination of countless hours of hard work and an unwavering | ||
commitment to excellence, and the Heritage Jaguars 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 87th Texas | ||
