WHEREAS, The girls’ soccer team from Heritage High School in
Midlothian once again proved itself among the finest in Texas by
winning the 2021 University Interscholastic League 4A state
championship; and
WHEREAS, The Jaguars’ journey to the title began with an
impressive regular-season run in which they clinched the district
championship with a perfect record against their league rivals;
buoyed by their senior leadership, the Heritage players surged
through the playoffs, dispatching Fort Worth Diamond Hill-Jarvis,
Carrollton Ranchview, Fort Worth Benbrook, and Stephenville High
Schools in the first four rounds; subsequent 1-0 victories over
Argyle in the regional finals and Celina in the state semifinal
earned the Jaguars a place in the 4A championship game; and
WHEREAS, On April 16, Heritage took the field against Corpus
Christi Calallen High School with the state title hanging in the
balance; launching an unrelenting offensive attack, the Jaguars
forged a 4-0 halftime advantage; they kept the throttle wide open
the rest of the way, building an insurmountable lead and giving all
of their players the thrilling experience of competing in a state
championship contest; triumphing by the final score of 6-0,
Heritage claimed its second 4A title, having previously hoisted the
trophy in 2018; and
WHEREAS, The Jaguars were paced by Jules Burrows, who booted
in three goals and was named the championship game Most Valuable
