Cheer Jackets 22-23
The 2021 state champ’s season is looking a little different this year than it has in the past. Coached by Tasha Richardson with hopes of growing the program, the team is made up of a junior varsity and varsity team this year.
Another 6th-grade and middle school team will also be competing this year but they will not be a team that travels out of state anymore. “They will be more of a learning, feeder program,” says Coach Richardson. Tasha Richardson will be helping to coach the middle school team as well.
Due to the new JV and Varsity teams, 7th and 8th graders are now able to compete on the high school team, giving them opportunities to learn and gain more experience by cheering with the older girls.
We also welcome the previous middle school coach, Jessica Coleman as well as Kennedy Geilar and Alex Sharp as the other high school coaches.
The Cheer Jackets are competing in a Gameday routine in which they hope to win state again with, along with a 2.5-minute routine, which they have not competed in since 2020. They will be competing at UCA regionals, KHSAA regionals, KHSAA state, and UCA nationals this season.
