R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, The Grapeland FFA senior quiz team successfully
  defended its 2013 championship title at the National Quiz
  Competition on October 28, 2014; and
         WHEREAS, A part of the National FFA Convention and Expo, the
  National Quiz Competition allows members an opportunity to showcase
  their in-depth knowledge of the organization; students from
  chapters across the United States gather to take a difficult
  100-question test on topics such as FFA history, leadership, rules,
  and symbols; and
         WHEREAS, The Grapeland FFA achieved its first national quiz
  championship the same year, 2013, that it fielded its first senior
  quiz competition team; participating in that contest were two
  seniors, Mary Wardell and Atlana Watson, and two sophomores, Monic
  Davila and Victoria Martin; this year, Ms. Davila and Ms. Martin
  returned to the competition, joined by sophomore Rebekah Turner and
  eighth-grader J. D. Martin, and the Grapeland senior quiz team once
  again emerged triumphant; and
         WHEREAS, Under the leadership of their coach, Gary Graham,
  the students prepared for the event by following an intensive study
  regimen; their two championship titles and high individual scores
  attest to their commitment to excellence; and
         WHEREAS, The members of the Grapeland senior quiz team are a
  source of great pride to their families and to their school, and
  their capacity for hard work and perseverance will indeed stand
  them in good stead as they take on the challenges and opportunities
  that await them; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
  Legislature hereby congratulate the Grapeland FFA senior team on
  winning the National FFA Quiz Competition in 2013 and 2014 and
  extend to the team's members sincere best wishes for continued
  success and a bright future.
