Abby Hornacek - Irlbecks of Manning Iowa

As my loyal web page followers know, I like to find and feature Manning connections.
I recently was told that Stacy (Nelson) Hornacek's daughter is now a Fox Nation reporter.
I had seen her face on Fox, but never paid attention to her last name.
Even though I know that her dad is Jeff Hornacek, I probably would not have made the connection for Abby to Stacy & Jeff unless someone had told me.
When I searched for Abby on the Internet, the information that comes up is mostly that she is the daughter of Jeff Hornacek, since he played for and coached in the NBA...SO I thought I would give Manning some credit and show some of Abby's family here in small-town Iowa.
