GRC’s cheer team is competing at state this weekend after winning the regional championship last Saturday.

“They were awesome and represented GRC well,” said Coach Hannah Rosevear. “They were something to be proud of, but most importantly they were a TEAM. They came together, supported each other, and killed it. It was incredible to see all their hard work and countless hours of practice pay off.”

The girls are performing their game day routine in state today and their competition routine Saturday.

“The feeling of finally winning a competition after my third year as a varsity cheerleader was great,” said sophomore Preslee Palmer. “All of the hard work and practices paid off. Our team has grown so much this year and I can’t wait to show off our talent at state.”

For senior Kylie Harper, the region win was especially sweet. “It felt really nice to no longer be ‘runner up,’ especially my senior year,” she said. “I’m so proud of my team and all of our progress.”
Kayla Rogers added, “Practicing every day for two hours felt so worth it when they called George Rogers Clark High School as the winner. It was a great feeling. Our seniors were so excited and they deserved it so much. We did our best and it paid off.”

Senior Eliana Foust summed up the day, saying, “Winning was an unreal experience that I got to share with the people I love.”
