|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Reynol Mendoza, head coach of the Eagle Pass High | ||
| School baseball team, reached a significant career milestone when | ||
| he recorded his 300th win on April 5, 2019; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The memorable victory took place at Lyndon | ||
| B. Johnson High School in Laredo, with the Eagles triumphing by the | ||
| score of 14-2; Coach Mendoza now stands as the second-winningest | ||
| coach in the storied history of the Eagle Pass program; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A star high school athlete, Reynol Mendoza was a | ||
| three-time All-District selection at W. H. Taft in San Antonio and | ||
| the district Most Valuable Player at Eagle Pass; after graduating | ||
| from the University of the Incarnate Word, where he was twice named | ||
| an all-conference pitcher, he was chosen by the Florida Marlins in | ||
| the 1992 Major League Baseball Draft; he pitched in the minor | ||
| leagues from 1992 through 1998 and served as a pitching coach in the | ||
| Marlins' instructional league before becoming the Eagle Pass head | ||
| coach in 2004; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Currently in his 16th year at the school, Coach | ||

| and 2014 squads were especially notable, advancing to regional | ||
| finals after knocking off the state's second-ranked and top-ranked | ||
| teams, respectively; more than 20 of his players have gone on to | ||
| compete at the collegiate level, and he also helps his | ||
| student-athletes to excel off the field by stressing the value of | ||
| community service and helping them to prepare for the | ||
| responsibilities of adulthood; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In reaching the 300-win plateau, Reynol Mendoza has | ||
| furthered his legacy of success at Eagle Pass High School, and this | ||
| rare feat is indeed deserving of commendation; now, therefore, be | ||
| it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
