Coach's Comments:
Sofia is a fierce competitor and leader on the SCDS flag team. She has an excellent sports IQ and has quickly learned the game over the past year. Sofia is quick, smart, and can make excellent decisions on the move. I am most proud of how she has led her team this year. She is a patient leader who helps direct her team on the field and is often one of the last to leave practice by getting extra throws or picking up equipment. On top of it all, she is an academic scholar in the classroom. We are proud of what she's accomplished and look forward to more growth in the season! - Candice English Head Coach Savannah Country Day
