WHEREAS, Mario Bracamontes and Carlos Bracamontes are making |
|
|
a difference in the lives of at-risk youth in the Rio Grande Valley |
|
|
through their organization of the Toros rugby program; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Bracamontes brothers overcame their own |
|
|
difficulties with school and authority as teens through involvement |
|
|
in rugby, and two decades later, they are striving to help the next |
|
|
generation by offering a chance to play; they pooled their own money |
|
|
to purchase uniforms and began recruiting players at the Summit |
|
|
Sports Club and the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo Independent School |
|
|
District's alternative education center, and they now oversee two |
|
|
teams and more than 60 middle and high school students; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mario Bracamontes is an assistant principal at |
|
|
Austin Middle School in the Pharr-San Juan-Alamo ISD, and Carlos |
|
|
Bracamontes is the athletic director of the Pharr Parks and |
|
|
Recreation Department; together they have made great strides in |
|
|
keeping their players in school and out of gangs, and both the Boys |
|
|
and Girls Club of Pharr and the Pharr Police Department, |
|
|
recognizing the initiative's effectiveness, have helped with |
|
|
funding; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, These outstanding Texans have demonstrated their |
|
|
commitment to the youth of the Rio Grande Valley and the future of |
|
|
the Lone Star State, and their efforts to reach and inspire students |
|
|
through athletics are truly deserving of commendation; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby honor Mario Bracamontes and Carlos Bracamontes |
|
|
for creating the Toros rugby program in Pharr and extend to them |
|
|
sincere best wishes for continued success with their important |
|
|
work; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared |
|
|
for Mario and Carlos Bracamontes as an expression of high regard by |
|
|
the Texas House of Representatives. |
