                          HON. COLIN Z. ALLRED

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, January 11, 2019

  Mr. ALLRED. Madam Speaker, I am honored to commemorate a historic 
achievement by the young student athletes at Highland Park High School.
  The Highland Park High School varsity football team won the 5A state 
championship for the third year in a row, and the Highland Park tennis 
teams also won state titles this very school year.
  On Saturday, January 12, 2019, at Goar Park, the Highland Park 
Independent School District and the cities of Highland Park and 
University Park will host a well deserved Parade of Champions.
  As their Congressman, I am excited to celebrate these hard fought 
victories with them.
  Achievements such as this don't happen overnight and they take the 
support of families, friends, teachers, coaches, faculty, staff and 
volunteers. It really does take a community. And this community should 
be proud.
  As a former student athlete myself, I know the hard work it takes, 
day in and day out, to practice and work to win as a team. All while 
prioritizing work in the classroom and studying hard.
  They have shown that North Texans are champions, and we couldn't be 
prouder of what they all have accomplished together.
