Though she didn’t really want to give it chance, she went in and gave the coach everything she knew how to do. She was impressive and showed great potential and was immediately taken on as a student.

“During my 6-year tenure, I’ve learned a lot about myself,” she says. “I’ve gained a tremendous amount of confidence. If I could sit down with Dr. Simon now I would thank her. I would thank her for saving my life.

Her record is 37 and 14 and she’s very proud to call herself a true fighter but in the ring only. “I was always motivated to never give up and overcome every obstacle and I did.” For her, boxing will not be a long term career, but it will always be a part of her.

Rotory Club Honor

Members of the Rotary community help make clubs stronger, communities better, and peace possible. The South Cobb chapter, in Austell, Georgia recently honored Pebblebrook Head Coach Kevin Saunders. The award was presented by Albert McRae, president of the South Cobb Rotary, to thank him for his dedication and valuable contributions.

The LGE Community Credit Union has partnered with the Cobb County School District (CCSD) to support our schools and students. As a new feature of this partnership, LGE has created High School Spirit Cards where each high school in our district will have their own VISA card (Debit or Credit) that contains their unique high school mascot logo along with the logos for LGE and CCSD.

This is a great opportunity for the Pebblebrook community (teachers, staff, students and parents) to participate in that this program is designed to create team spirit in each high school environment while at the same time, create an opportunity for the school to raise additional funding.
