It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of one of our own in the Hornet Softball family. Jacie had some complications during child birth & although she gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, Jaxon Jay, Jacie found her place in heaven yesterday morning.
Today we lay to rest one of our own. Please have her family & friends on your hearts & in your prayers. We’re going to need it.

Had our first theme Thursday of the year yesterday! The girls got to sport their old high school or travel ball team gear. Still think they look better in black and gold 😉

So proud of this group & their fight & resilience. Families stick together through THICK & THIN & these sisters just proved if you never give up on one another, anything can happen! Big time thanks to all our family & friends who made the trip & supported us from afar!

We send prayers & sympathies to her husband, Cale Cochran, who is a Hornet himself, & to her family, especially Jay, Lea Ann, and Stephanie. We know Jacie's spirit will live on in Jaxon & are so grateful for our newest angel behind the plate.

It takes a village to run the program that we do. We truly would not be Emporia State Softball without the unending support we receive. To all of you who came to our Lake Kahola fundraiser or donated in any capacity, thank you! You make what we do possible.
