On November 7, Pinewood Christian Academy’s competition cheerleaders competed at the GIAA State Cheerleading Competition. Facing eight other squads, Pinewood finished fifth in the state. This placement was a significant accomplishment for the team, as the cheerleaders achieved the goal their coaches had set for the season. Through hard work and determination, PCA cheerleaders represented their school well at state competition.
Head coach Abbey Johnson commented, “Our varsity competition cheerleaders exemplified our team verse, Colossians 3:23, by leaving everything on the mat. Every hour of practice led up to that moment, and we could not be any more proud of them. We had a major setback resulting in reworking the routine and making tough coaching calls. These athletes never backed down from the challenge. Our goal was to finish in the top five. They climbed the mountain by trusting in God’s faithfulness throughout this season. We are forever grateful for the ability to do a sport that brings us tremendous joy.”
Although the competition cheer season has come to a close, PCA cheerleaders will continue preparing for Game Day competitions. The squad will compete at the GIAA State Game Day Competition on December 5th at Tattnall Square Academy in Macon.
