DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DON'T GET IN THE WAY OF A BROOKE SAILER SERVE.... OR A FOREHAND....OR A BACKHAND FOR THAT MATTER..... BROOKE SAILER, THE SENIOR TENNIS STAR FOR HILLCREST CAN DO IT ALL, AND AS A RESULT, SHE IS IDAHO'S BEST TENNIS PLAYER.......
GRETCHEN MALONEY HAS BEEN COACHING BROOKE FOR THE LAST SEVEN YEARS.......

THE 5'6" SAILER HAS JUST COME BACK FROM THE PRESTIGIOUS CAPITAL TENNIS TOURNAMENT IN BOISE, WHERE SHE PLACED SECOND IN A FIELD WITH MORE THAN 600 OF THE BEST PLAYERS IN THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST...... PLUS, INSPITE OF ALL THE TRAVELING AND TOURNAMENTS SHE PLAYS IN, SHE HAS MAINTAINED A 3.6 GRADE POINT AVERAGE..... GOOD ENOUGH TO GET HER BOTH AN ACADEMIC AND SPORTS SCHOLARSHIP TO HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY IN NEW YORK.....

BROOKE SAILER, A TWO TIME STATE CHAMPION, WHO HAS NO INTEREST IN EVENTUALLY TURNING PRO, IS A CLEAR CHOICE AS OUR KIDK STUDENT ATHLETE OF THE WEEK........AND NOW, SHE'S GOING FOR A THIRD STATE CHAMPIONSHIP..
