June 14, 2013 It is with great pleasure that the Hughston Foundation partners with In the Game High School Sports Magazine on several endeavors each year. Our team has worked directly with Publisher and Editor, Mark Dykes, of In the Game High School Sports Magazine on several projects. One project in particular, the Columbus Valley High School Athletic Awards, illustrates In the Game’s attention to detail and their sincere devotion to area athletes. The project’s size alone requires that the awards are divided into three separate banquets. At the banquets, athletes and their coaches receive formal recognition for their accomplishments during the season. Additionally, The Hughston Foundation has participated in the Football Award Luncheon and the Football National Signing Day Banquet that recognizes the accomplishments of area high school football athletes. Each project we have partnered with, we have found the editors and staff of In the Game High School Sports Magazine, straightforward, professional, and easy to work with. We highly recommend their work and their desire to promote athletics in the Columbus / Chattahoochee Valley area. Sincerely, Andy Grubbs, M.Ed, ATC Director of Athletic Training

To Whom It May Concern: It has been my joy and pleasure over the last 3 years to get to know Mark Dykes and his family as they give themselves to publishing and distributing the “In The Game High School Sports Magazine.” They are wonderful people of character and integrity and it is a privilege to count them as our friends. The magazine is a high quality publication that focuses on the local and area wide high school sports programs. They cover the entire spectrum of athletics including boys and girls programs. The coverage extends to most all the high schools in our area and is educational and inspiring. Mark Dykes and the “In The Game High School Sports Magazine” reflect family values and are community centered. The coverage extends to schools both large and small. It also gives time and attention to sports other than the big three. It is not uncommon to see tennis featured, or softball, or cross country. Interviews with both athletes and coaches are focused and purposeful. It is without reservation that I recommend to you both Mr. Dykes and the “In The Game High School Sports Magazine.” Be blessed,
Hal McGregor FCA Area Director
