Dear Editor,     The Corinth Comets All-Star Team would like to thank the fans of the Water Valley All-Stars Team for their support and cheering of our team during the recent Dizzy Dean State Tournament.   We appreciated the parents and players that sat with us and cheered for our team.        We would also…
