These 25 young men not only demonstrated their athletic talent but exemplified the teamwork and perseverance needed to complete a successful season. I also want to congratulate Samuel Huerta, Rene Benitez, and Eddy Rodriguez of the Sam Houston High soccer team for being named to the first team 6A all-State team.
