VYPE: Here is your chance to say hello, goodbye or thank you to anyone you wish.

Alex: I would like to thank my mom (Lela Cupp) and my dad (Danny Cupp). They have poured everything into me and my sister and I can’t thank them enough for it. I would also like to give thanks to my twin sister Adyson Cupp. She is like a built-in best friend. She always pushes me to do my best! Another group of people I would like to give my thanks to are my meme Nancy Brooks and my papa Lance Brooks and my mema Peggy Beck. They always come and support me at every game I play. I am more than grateful for all the people that help me succeed!
