Sulphur, La.
Nearly 12 years after she led the Sulphur Lady Tors to a championship, Amber Koonce Myers will have her jersey retired on Friday. The event will be a pregame ceremony at Matt Walker Memorial Stadium.
Myers, who has ALS (Amytrophic Lateral Sclerosis or Lou Gehrig's Disease) will be honored shortly before the Tor football team takes the field to face Comeaux for Senior Night at 7 p.m.
She was a two-time all-state and all-district award winner for the Lady Tors.
Myers was just a sophomore when she pitched the Lady Tors to a win over District 3-5A rival Comeaux in the 2001 5A state championship game in the first year the Fast Pitch 56 was hosted in Sulphur. She graduated from Sulphur High in 2003 but just five years later she was diagnosed with ALS.
ALS, which affects between one and two people in 100,000, is a motor neurone disease that causes rapidly increasing muscular weakness, along with difficulties speaking, swallowing and breathing.
Myers is married to Eddie Myers and has a four-year old son named Owen.
Fellow 2003 Sulphur High graduate Lauren Bowman will be on hand Friday to represent Team Gleason, a foundation run by former New Orleans Saints player Steve Gleason who was diagnosed with ALS in 2011.

As I said Eddie, wish I could be there! Just take your time and work hard at making her speech sound as she has written it. This will be an emotional night for all involved and I will be sending prayers to all of you. Make SC proud and represent!

The White hat ref walked up to amber.... gave her his coin and said "Sweetie I have been using this coin for 26 years... I would love for you to have it" ... This beautiful man wept as he gave it to her. I was speechless.
