so proud of my bestie

[Madison Kokoszka @MadisonKokoszka]

I am so excited to announce that I have decided to verbally commit to App State University to further my academic and athletic career!

First, I want to thank God because none of this would be possible without trusting in him. I also want to thank my entire family for all the support and sacrifices they have given me throughout my career.

To my coaches. Coach Adrienne, you have been with me from the beginning. Thank you for all the countless hours you have put into me and my family. My Mustang coaches, you made me love the game more than I ever could have and you have always believed in me. I will forever be grateful to have such a supportive staff. Coach Lincoln, thank you for believing in me and helping build my swing. Brett, I want to thank you for all the laughs you have provided while also pushing me to work as hard as I can.

Lastly I want to thank my teammates. You all are truly a blessing and I am so glad I have gone through this incredible experience with all of you.

To Coach Whitt, Alex, O, and Matt, thank you for this amazing opportunity. GO MOUNTAINEERS!
