Cheerleaders kick off season with a Midnight Practice

When Liza Morgan took over as the head coach of the high school cheerleading Spirit and Competition squads, she wanted to bring back the tradition of holding a midnight practice to kick-off the first day of offical practice for the season. “My Papa used to do one for football and I wanted to continue the tradition,” said Morgan.

This year marks the seventh year of the cheerleading midnight practice. “We practice from midnight til around 1:30 or so and parents cook them a huge breakfast after,” said Morgan.

The 2016 CHS Competition Cheerleaders are Laney Barnes, Haley McDaniel, Alex McDonald, Destinee McGuire, Makenzie Stricklin, Bailey McKinney, Chloe Rosser, Michaela Millican, Mia Crider, Madison Tibbs, Tiberious Shepherd, Tacobyus Shepherd, Logan Money and Allie Mitchell.
