Our Athlete of the Week this week is Sarah Sanabia. Sarah is a freshman at Allatoona High School and has been playing tennis for seven years. “The team played Lassiter this past week, and the score was 2-2 going into her match. We had to win Sarah’s match in order to win as a team. Sarah was down the 1st set 2-5 against the Lassiter player. Sarah showed a lot of GRIT and came back to win… we won 3-2 over Lassiter,” said Head Girls Tennis Coach Joseph Soley. “When we played Lassiter, we were tied 2-2, and I came out with the win,” says Sarah. Her favorite memory while playing Tennis at Allatoona was “Going to Lagrange with the best team ever.” Sarah’s plans after high school are to go to college, major in biology, and become an anesthesiologist. Her advice to younger players is, “Always work hard and believe in yourself.”
