Superior Cheerleaders!

Friday, 25 Jul 2008

Royse City Varsity cheerleaders rocked the competition at the U.C.A. cheer camp this past week. The cheerleaders attended the camp at the University of North Texas and dominated all divisions of competition. As a varsity squad, Royse City won the championship trophy in the home dance category, the cheer category, and received a Superior rating on all cheers, chants and dances learned at camp. But the accolades don’t stop there. Perhaps the most treasured honor given to the squad was the Leadership Award. This award was voted on by the other squads at camp and represents the character and class of this group of young ladies. We also had four girls, Kambria Buentello, Autumn Landers, Lesley Latta, and Janis Mapps earn top honors as All Star cheerleaders. Our varsity captain, Taylor Aycox, was asked to consider applying for a U.C.A. position upon graduation from RCHS. Congratulations to all the girls! We’re looking forward to an awesome school year cheering on our BULLDOGS!!
