|
||
| WHEREAS, Four students from Coronado High School in El Paso | ||
| won great distinction for themselves and their school by placing | ||
| second at the National Academic Championship in Washington, D.C., | ||
| on June 2, 2013; and | ||
| WHEREAS, This championship brought together 52 varsity | ||
| academic teams from across the country to participate in a highly | ||
| competitive quiz featuring questions about all branches of academic | ||
| study as well as current events, popular culture, and music; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Coronado High School fielded two teams at the | ||
| competition, the A-team and the B-team; while the A-team lost a | ||
| close contest in the Sweet 16 round, the B-team defeated two teams | ||
| from New York State and another from New Jersey to advance to the | ||
| final round and take second place; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Coached by Matthew Ballway, the talented members of | ||
| this team include captain Michael Pannell and his teammates Luke | ||
| Minton, Andrew Paton, and Ryan Sharma; together, they set a new | ||
| record for the farthest advance by a B-team in the history of the | ||
| competition; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The exceptional scholastic ability and hard work | ||
| evidenced by these four gifted young men will pay great dividends in | ||
| all their future endeavors, and they may indeed take justifiable | ||
| pride in their achievement at this prestigious national | ||
| competition; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
| Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate the High-Q | ||
| B-Team of Coronado High School on taking second place at the | ||
| National Academic Championship and extend to the team's members | ||
| sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
