You are so sweet to get her a bag! I think Coach would be very appropriate, not to mention that there are so many styles of Coach out there. I also think that certain Kate Spade bags are really cute too. Or, how about Botkier or Kooba? Both brands are really in style now, and have very fun and hip bags that might appeal to her.
wow, she sounds a lot like me (sports oriented...casual but likes dressing up). hm, i'm not a fan of d&b at all and i'm growing out of coach. i really like this bag right now:
marc jacobs satin mia- $725 at eluxury (expensive! but i think it's really cute)
the satin makes it kinda dressy but i think with the right outfit it could be casual

that's so nice of you to buy your cousin a bag. very sweet. 
i'm in college so i was in high school pretty recently and i saw alot of girls with coach bags, juicy, and of course, DB. i suggest a coach sig hobo or a tote (i like the beaded tote) or the bag Kat posted above. i have that bag and it was a reasonable price. i can surprisingly store alot in it! i love it. great leather.
i think DB is cute for younger girls in hs but she'll only be able to carry it around for a year or two until she grows out of it.
if you're willing to spend a little more i suggest the LV croissant! i think it's adorable! or maybe the papillon?

Ok, it's been YEARS since my teens--but for my two cents, I'd suggest something more "reasonably" priced. What about a Marc by Marc Jacobs bag? He's got some great pieces for usually under $300 that are trendy without braking the bank. The leather is nice and they've got styles that are fun.
Juicy seems to be really popular with teenagers too. Good luck! You'll have to let us know what you end up picking up.

My 13 year old loves Dooney Bourke (the tatoo bag in the above is great), also likes the smaller coach bags, some of the funky Guess bags and likes to "borrow" my Vuitton Pouchette Epi. But I think the Vuitton's are too expensive for a 13 year old. (she needs something to look forward to when she graduates high school!)
The Macy's here in NJ has a section with the funky/fun bags geared to teens. Guess, Baby Phat, Le Sportsac, JoLo, and brands like that. That's a good place to look for ideas, at least.
Good Luck, imo there is nothing fussier than a teenager.

Maybe you could just offer to take her to the mall with you and let her pick out whatever she wants. And you could go out to lunch or something. I think that would sound fun.
