Dear Duane,

Just wanted to drop you a line to update you on Copiah-Lincoln Community College and Emily Horne.  We won our State and Regional Tournaments this year and went on to finish third in the NJCAA National Tournament in Normal , Illinois .  We finished with a 39-9 overall record.  We were ranked #5 in the Nation going into the tournament.

Emily Horne lead the nation in ERA for Division II this year with a 0.466 ERA.  We just found out today that she made First Team All-American.  She signed fairly early with Arkansas Tech University , a D2 school.

Anyway, I thought you would like to know, so I thought I would pass this info along.  We could not have accomplished what we did this year without Emily and I am grateful to you for the part you played in helping bring her to Mississippi .

Sincerely,
