Cherie Bauch and Preston Bauch

Second Baptist School fourth grader Preston Bauch (pictured) and his mom, Cherie, played in the Houston Racquet Club’s Fourth of July parent/child tournament. The duo placed second, just one point away from the first-place team. Preston began playing at age 5 and is “a natural at tennis,” according to proud mom Cherie. They share a love of tennis as Cherie has played since her childhood and spends almost every day on the court. Preston plays with his mom almost every weekend. When he is not on the tennis court, you can find Preston playing elite baseball, football or basketball.
