|
||
| WHEREAS, The boys' soccer team from Diamond Hill-Jarvis High | ||
| School in Fort Worth enjoyed an exceptional 2020-2021 season, | ||
| advancing all the way to the University Interscholastic League 4A | ||
| state championship game; and | ||
| WHEREAS, After excelling in the regular season and claiming | ||
| the district title, the Eagles launched a dominant run in the | ||
| playoffs, dispatching Alvarado, Argyle, Midlothian Heritage, and | ||
| Stephenville High Schools to reach the regional final; there, with | ||
| a thrilling 2-1 double overtime triumph over Mineral Wells, Diamond | ||
| Hill-Jarvis made history as the first team from the Fort Worth | ||
| Independent School District to advance to the state soccer | ||
| tournament; the Eagles then bested Celina High 4-2 in the | ||
| semifinals to stake their spot in the state finale; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Eagles vied for the state crown against Boerne | ||
| High School on April 17 at Birkelbach Field in Georgetown; while | ||
| their title bid ultimately fell short, the Diamond Hill-Jarvis | ||
| players achieved a new level of success for their school, becoming | ||
| the first Eagles squad in any sport to compete in a UIL state | ||
| championship game; they brought the year to a close with a stellar | ||
| record of 26 wins, 5 losses, and 2 ties; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Eagle players Eduardo Lopez, Edward Zuniga, | ||
| Jonathan Lopez, Ricardo Gonzalez, and Andres Montes were selected | ||
| for the 4A All-Tournament Team; Diamond Hill-Jarvis also benefited | ||
| from the valuable contributions made throughout the season by the | ||
| other members of the roster: Cesar Ortiz, Luis Jaimes, Alberto | ||
| Diosado, Luis Lopez, Jaime Rivera, Edgar Rodriguez, Juan Vega, | ||
| Hector Ramirez, Enock Dusabe, Diego Rodriguez, Cristian Alvarez, | ||
| Jovany Castruita, Pablo Villegas, Eduardo Rodriguez, and Everardo | ||
| Rodriguez; these talented student-athletes were ably guided by head | ||
| coach Kyle Reopelle and assistant coaches Daniel Rodriguez and | ||
| Andrew Sanchez; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Through hard work and an unwavering resolve to give | ||
| their very best, the Diamond Hill-Jarvis Eagles have earned the | ||
| admiration of their fellow students and their many community | ||
| supporters, and they may indeed reflect with pride on their | ||
| memorable accomplishments; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the Diamond Hill-Jarvis High | ||
| School boys' soccer team on its exceptional 2020-2021 season and | ||
| extend to the team's players, coaches, and staff sincere best | ||
| wishes for continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
