Yes, yes, yes we do! We got spirit How about you!?
Nooo!
I really don’t understand why Poca High School has NO school spirit. I mean really it’s pretty sad. Yes our football team may not be the best team but we do have several sports teams that do really well. Beside the point, we also have many really good cheerleaders, and we need to support them like they support us.
They just competed in a small competition this past weekend at G.W High School and they received 2nd place. They also beat our rivals the Sissonville Indians. They also competed with one stunt due to an injured flyer. This weekend, they will be competing in the regional competition in Parkersburg West Virginia. They will be competing against other 9 other double A schools including Tug Valley, Tolsia, Scott, Sissonville, Clay, Mingo Central, Wayne, Sherman, and Chapmanville High School. Last year at regionals, they received 3rd place. The only thing that kept them from placing top two was a stunt that fell midway through the routine. This year they are hoping to place in the top two, for those two teams will attend the state cheerleading competition in Charleston West Virginia at the Civic Center in early December.
It seems that the cheerleaders always have a little bit of bad luck. Last year their main stunt fell and this year problems didn’t get much better. Just last week, the main flyer Samantha Winter, injured her ankle and probably won’t be healed in time for the regional competition this weekend. Senior Captains Haley Harrison and Ashlee Peters feel she is a great loss but they have rearranged a few things, and hopefully they will still perform well without her.
I hope the cheerleaders can bounce back from this problem and perform well in regionals, and we will next hear them performing their routine at the state competition in Charleston! We have many great cheerleaders and an excellent competition squad so let’s go out and support them this weekend in Parkersburg Saturday morning!
