Spirit Stick– every day

Pin it Forward Awards– Recognized for a quality that has made them stand out: Ansley McDaniel, Beckham McCord, Mary Mac Parnell and Julia Tann.
In addition to the many accolades the cheer team received, seven cheerleaders were also awarded All-American status and now have the opportunity to attend the London, England New Year’s Day parade: Ann Michael Armstrong, Makyla Brannon, Lucy Case, Cofield Collins, Christina Evans, Lauren Nelson and Julia Tann.
“I am so proud of these girls, they worked tirelessly and stayed focused. We were proud to welcome all the other squads to our city,” said cheer sponsor Mylene Cromwell. “We are looking forward to a great year.”
