Lauren Cooper

.
Lauren Cooper is about to deliver a knockout forehand ground stroke in this photo sequence. Lauren was the winer of the recent Home School Challenge Event between Coach Sam's Brazoria County, Bay City, and Clear Lake programs.

Lauren's backhand preparation looks good. Her racquet head is positioned below the ball indicating a topspin stroke.
