COACH’S COMMENTS

“… These girls did amazing! They came out and did exactly what they should have. They’ve worked all week with some major adversities and last night they pulled it together. Some things are out of our control, the cheer world is challenging, but we will pick ourselves up and go forward from here. We have advanced to state which is held Dec 9th at GRC in Winchester.

“…These ladies are very determined and will continue doing their best at every competition we have left! Thanks to all the support, words of encouragement that the community has given these girls. We are all very proud of them and they are a very resilient team!!”
