I received a call from Lewis Coppedge, the father of recent National Letter of Intent signee for ACU Soccer, Julie Coppedge this morning. I just have to say, that if Julie is as with it as her attorney father, then ACU Soccer is in for a real treat. Of course, I would expect nothing but talent to be chosen from our two coaches, but it was a pleasure to visit with Mr. Coppedge and see how excited he is for his daughter to join the "Wildcat Family". We are all looking forward to a great season for the soccer team and I am pleased to see the families of our players so involved and excited to be a part of ACU.
