                  IN RECOGNITION OF GUYER HIGH SCHOOL

                                  _____

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 30, 2013

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Denton 
Guyer High School girls soccer team for winning their first Texas 4A 
State Championship. Winning the state title is an achievement that 
requires great determination, discipline and teamwork. This team 
overcame a classification change and a difficult season last year. They 
set a goal and a mantra that rang true by the end of the season, ``Win 
State.'' With the hard work of the team and the leadership of Coach 
Kenny Blevins, they fostered a winning combination that launched them 
to a state title. I am impressed with this team and these girls. Guyer 
has begun a soccer tradition of state titles, and I am confident that 
it will not end with this years' team.
  This Denton Guyer team is full of talented players and they beat many 
talented teams in their 28-1-0 season; none more talented than the team 
they beat in the state final. Highland Park had not lost in 49 games 
until they faced the Lady Wildcats of Denton Guyer. Scoring in the 14th 
and 35th minutes of action, Brittany Crabtree and Hannah Alspach led 
Denton Guyer to a fast start and a lead they would never relinquish, 
finishing the game with 2-1 victory.
  I am pleased to join their classmates, teachers, friends and family 
along with the entire Denton Community in honoring the athletic 
achievement of the Guyer Lady Wildcats soccer team for winning their 
first state title. They should also be commended for bringing home the 
first women's team title in Guyer History. It has been and continues to 
be my privilege to serve you all in the U.S. House of Representatives.
  Head Coach: Kenny Blevins; Roster: Mikayla Renfroe, Emily Swihart, 
Hannah Alspach, Peyton Bucklew, Amber Krinner, Logan McPhail, Asheigh 
Lyons, Brittany Crabtree, Madison Uk, Sara Finney, Taylor Heaton, Gairy 
Natividad, Tatianna Hernandez, Alex Ludeman, Hannah Watson, Samantha 
Sanders, Peyton Draper, Caitlyn Abreu, Telia Young, Megan Stokes, 
Danielle Deats, Andie Beach, Morgan Thornton, Kaitlyn Caro, Sophie 
Martin, Alex Kleider.
