Sideline Spirit: St. Joseph Christian Cheer
By Kirsten Stokes
This weeks, Sideline Spirit highlights the St. Joseph Christian cheerleading team.
On Wednesday, the team had a morning practice at 6:30 a.m. to get ready for the game of the week versus DeKalb on Friday. Newly positioned head coach Cheyenne Sharp talked about her new position and her teams goals for the season.
“Our main goal is to do everything that we can to glorify God. With that, we come to every practice and every performance with lots of energy. We’re ready to try new things, whether that’s with stunting or tumbling or whatever it is,” Sharp said.
With their shoelaces tied, pompoms in hand and a ready call, the team is adapting to changes including graduating seven seniors last year. Current senior Abbey Robinson uses her role as a leader to encourage her team, but also bring the fun.
”On our way to games we ride together and listen to music. We sometimes get food that helps, and then we get there and we like huddle up and there’s this natural energy,” Robinson said.
From beginning their season in June with summer practice to individual training camps to get everyone accustomed, the St. Joseph cheerleaders are sideline ready and will bring the spirit to the game of the week.
