Coach Somers' Take

Nickname: The Baker, The Mathematician, Cookie Monster, HRD (Human Rain Delay)

Tennis: Winners seem to come out of nowhere because her strokes are quite deceiving and her ready position is quite intimidating. She won the National French Nike Junior Tour under 14 and represented France in the International Nike Junior in Sun City, South Africa. She participated in many international tournaments under 14, 16, and 18 in France. Sarah advanced to the semifinals of the National French Championship under 18 in doubles in 2004. She was a four time regional champion in France.

Personal: The infamous tennis ball clipper makes Sarah stand out at all tournaments and practices because it is one of a kind...we thought they were extinct because we haven't seen them since the early 1990's...she went out on a limb and for the first time in her life she busted out the team tennis skirt though VERY reluctant. She seems to nod in affirmation at everything that is said to her, no one will ever truly know if she gets it...can be seen in the library at all times... Is terrified of her teammates and what they do in their free time ...and most importantly natural beauty is everything. She is the team baker and will make you any French dessert you would like on demand.

Future Ambitions: Sarah aspires to work for freetranslation.com and she plans to be wed to Tommy Lee because of his obvious natural untouched beauty.
