In the Spotlight: Patriot Cheer Team
Launch the media gallery 1 playerLast school year marked the first time in many years that the Patriots had a cheerleading squad. This year, the Patriots have continued the new tradition, and have six dedicated members on the team!
This year’s squad consists of two juniors, one sophomore, and three freshmen. The juniors are Lexis Gleason and Karly Wendt. Our sophomore is Ella Higby. The freshmen are Ariyah Ross, Kiera Wiese, and Ellison Koehn.
The girls are coached by Andrea Sortino. They cheer and pump up the crowd for basketball, volleyball, and football. They also help promote school spirit and put on pep rallies.
When asked about how the season has gone and will continue to go, Lexis Gleason said, “As a cheer group of mostly new faces, I am proud of how far we have come. We are always pushing ourselves to be better as a squad and there are a lot of new things coming our way in the future. We will continue to cheer on our sports teams and students alike. GO PATS!”
