Baseball magazine.

currently a junior attending the great Rice University. Duplantier has 
been drafted and picked to pitch for the Arizona Diamondbacks. 
Duplantier was named the C-USA Pitcher of the week three times, 
National pitcher of the Week and has faced six nationally ranked teams. 
Duplantier has displayed great discipline and dedication, we are proud 
to have such talent representing our Katy community.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Jon Duplantier for his outstanding athletic 
achievements. We wish him success in his baseball career and look 
forward to rooting for him in majors. Katy, Texas is proud of him.
