After recovering from NCA Camp, the Varsity Cheer Team switched gears to prep for football season and our first home game of the season. They loved cheering the Warriors on to victory against Pottsgrove! With family, friends and some beloved alumni in attendance, the team performed well, showing off what they've been working on to kick off the 23-24 season.

Our standout athletes of the week are our freshmen girls, Sadie Emerson, Kendall Larrivee, Sarah Miller and Kayla Watson. They did a fantastic job at their first HS football game! They cheered confidently, stunted strong and didn't let any nerves show. As they acclimate to the balance that HS sports require, we are excited to see what the season holds for the class of 2027!
