ALEXANDRIA

ALEXANDRIA:When I think of the word "faithful" a few words come to mind: dedicated, devoted, true, passionate, and loyal. It means that whether we are winning or losing, we stay faithful to our team and continue to encourage and persevere.

Do you have any pets?SAVANNAH: I have a sweet black lab who we named after our street in case he ever gets lost.  If you could say anything to the 49ers faithful what would it be? ALEXANDRIA:I am so excited to share this season with you! Fingers crossed for a memorable season with lots of wins and historic plays.Who is the most inspirational person in your life?SAVANNAH:*My guardian angel, my mom, Michele. She taught me growing up how to love unconditionally, to be happy, and to never take life for granted.ALEXANDRIA: My high school dance coach. Not only did she teach us dance style and technique but she was a second mother to all her students. She is an inspiration to everyone that meets her and a shining star at our school.
