In January of 2008 the Sager’s were blessed by the birth of their precious baby girl, Kylie. Kylie is now a beautiful two-year old little girl who has become accustomed to being in the gym. When she was just six weeks old, Kylie attended her first basketball game in March of 2008 at the Girls State Basketball Tournament in Austin. Not only is she quickly becoming a basketball fan, Kylie also enjoys getting plenty of attention from the Lady Panther basketball players when she attends their games. Kylie loves to watch the girls play basketball and has become a big CHHS Lady Panther Basketball Fan!
The Sager's are members of the Richland Hills Church of Christ where they have been attending for several years. When Coach Sager is not at the gym, she enjoys spending her free time with Dave and Kylie. One of the greatest blessings in Coach Sager’s life is being Kylie’s mom. Experiencing her growth and watching her discover new things everyday has been a joy in the Sager family. When she is not in season, Coach Sager enjoys spending time traveling and visiting with family and friends.
