A young Scorpions athlete has her eyes on a golf scholarship and she has motivation for it.

Sophomore Savanah Cooper hopes to go to college on a full-ride golf scholarship after graduating from Sedona Red Rock High School. Cooper is one of the few girls on the Scorpions’ golf team, which begins its season this spring, although she continuously plays throughout the year. Cooper hopes to earn a scholarship to play at a Texas university, particularly Texas A&M. Savanah Cooper is only a sophomore at Sedona Red Rock High School, yet she’s already setting up a golf regimen so hopefully one day, she can go to college on a full-ride scholarship because of her athletic skills.

Cooper’solder sister already has. Whitney Cooper, a 2012 SRRHS graduate, plays second base for the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, one of the top NCAA Division I softball programs in the country, on a softball scholarship.
