Tuesday evening, we got a nice message from one of the top outfielders in the Class of 2021, Kenadie Cooper of the East Cobb Bullets – Schnute 18U team and a senior at East Coweta High in Sharpsburg, Georgia.
Kenadie, ranked #22 overall in the 2021 Extra Elite 100, comes from an Auburn family (understatement of the month!) and it was apparent from her earliest days where she wanted to go.
Wednesday will be a day she’ll remember the rest of her life… here’s what she told us the day would be like along with some photos of the future SEC player from her youngest day up until now!

I will be singing my letter of intent at 7 am sharp at home with my family, but we are having a Signing Day celebration at East Coweta High school on Wednesday also.
Since there are 10 seniors signing to play softball at East Coweta, we are also having a BIG Signing Day party in December. That will be a big occasion with 10 of us all signing… having 10 girls in one signing class is pretty awesome!
I verbally committed in January of 2020 to Auburn. I was fortunate enough to visit several schools but Auburn has always been home for me.
I have grown up tailgating on the plains and pulling for all the Auburn teams. My family has always been part of the Auburn family (my mom is a graduate of AU) so of course Auburn was always my dream school.
After meeting Coach (Mickey) Dean I even felt more at home. You could probably say I bleed Orange and Blue! We actually have a whole closet dedicated to mine, my Dad’s and Mom’s Auburn gear.
Even our two dogs proudly wear their Auburn collars!
A far as my plans, my high school team just won the Georgia 7A State Championship for the third time in four years, but there is really no time off. I will be playing in several big tournaments throughout the Fall with my East Cobb Bullets team.
We will take a few weeks off in December, but will start back mid-January with conditioning.
Signing Day seems like it would never arrive but IM AM SO EXCITED IT IS HERE and to officially be an Auburn Tiger!! WAR EAGLE!!
