Sarah cheered at the first football game this season and it proved to be a little early for her back. She hadn't fully recovered as much as she thought, so she took another 6 weeks off. She is back under those Friday night lights and loving it! There are 2 seasonal games remaining before playoffs.
This year, the Senior girls decided to hold the first annual "Red Out" - a fundraiser for the American Heart Association in honor of their classmate and friend, McKinnley (holding the football in the middle of the picture). She has been battling a heart condition since birth. The girls sold t-shirts and heartbeat raffle tickets and raised over $5000!! The winner of the raffle won the football signed by all of the Trojan football players.
Competitive cheer has been been challenging this year. They have been faced with so many injuries and coach has had to change the routine week after week. Of course, Sarah isn't on the mat competing, but she is still very much apart of this team and supports them 110% of the way! She has been helping with behind the scenes activities and music, and motivates the girls every day at practice. The Trojan Ladies will compete at the Region competition tomorrow in Columbus with the State competition being held the following weekend, November 10. We all have hopeful hearts for another State Title this year! The theme this year is "Back to Back". Go Trojans!!
