The ECHS Varsity Cheerleaders and Junior High Cheerleaders had an amazing experience this past weekend with the UCA Staff at the University of Texas. The Varisty squad was recognized with a spirit stick each night and the St. Jude spirit stick on Monday. The Varsity cheerleaders were honored with a gold ribbon for their sideline and cheer evaluation, and a blue ribbon for their camp routine. These girls worked extremely hard throughout the entire weekend, for 6-8 hours a day. Coach Bethea commented, “As a team, they stepped up to show everyone what it truly means to be a Buccaneer! We had many laughs, lots of trust and support, positive attitudes, a ton of prayers, and communicated effectively.”
The ECHS Varsity Cheerleaders brought home trophies! In their division:
•2nd place in Game Day performance
•3rd place in Camp Routine
There were 7 ECHS All American Recipients.
Along side the Jr High squad, they also earned the Leadership Award (leadership on & off the mat) out of all the schools at camp.
The EC Jr High Cheerleaders also showed up! In their division:
