Greenville cheer teams place in 3 of 4
events
GREENVILLE – Following weeks of hard work, Greenville cheer teams – and
individuals – went home, many with medals and trophies, all with the
knowledge they’d competed well in a tough environment, placing in three
of the four events in which they participated.
Greenville coaches Hope Jordan (Junior High), Tiffany Labig (Varsity)
and Carol Paul (Pee Wee) were proud of their students, noting they were
all “very coachable athletes.” Some students were seasoned, some were
new… “We had a nice variety of students to work with,” they said.
Teams and coaches averaged about 12 hours a week throughout the summer
to get ready for the annual Great Darke County Fair Cheer Competition.
Teams placed second in Pee Wee Cheer and Junior High Cheer, and Cameron
Clark took a first place trophy in the High School Individual category.
All three coaches were emphatic about competition cheer being a sport
“without a doubt,” noting they work very hard. “They condition just
like the other athletes in the district,” they said.
Twelve hours a week throughout the summer, along with all of the
season’s other activities, can be tough. The coaches – who have about
25 years of experience among the three of them – put in as much time
and efforts as the kids they are coaching.
The reason? It was unanimous. “We do it for the kids. And love of the
sport.”
