COMPETITIVE CHEERLEADERS
OPEN SEASON SATURDAY
A full seven weeks into
school the SCHS Lady
Gamecock competitive
cheerleaders of Cindy
LeMaster will finally
open their 2022
schedule this Saturday
at the Raider Rumble at
West Laurens High
School near Dublin.
They will follow on
September 24 with the
Gamecock Challenge at
Georgia Southern. On
the season there will
be five competitions
before the Class A state
sectionals at Ola High
School in McDonough
GA on November 5.
“The girls have come a
long way since learning
their choreography back
in June,” explained
LeMaster. “Since
August 1 they have
been working hard on
cleaning up and
perfecting the routine
to maximize as many
points on their score
sheets as possible.”
A total of ten
members make up the
roster for the Lady
Gamecocks - a pair of
seniors in Gisell Gomez
and CeCe Robinson,
a single junior in
Gracen Kullberg, six
sophomores in Lilly
Doss, Camdyn
Forehand, Olivia
Jackson, Terriona
Turner, Abbey Wall,
and Emma Warren, and
a single freshman in
Peyton Lee. The small
roster makes some of
the more difficult, high
scoring routines,
impossible. “With a
squad of ten the girls
really have to focus on
maximizing execution
points to help make
up the difference
in difficulty points,
explained LeMaster”
In Class A this year, in
neither Di or D2, will
there be purely region
competitions as
there are not enough
schools with squads. In
fact all Class A schools
will be combined
into the one state
sectional competition
in McDonough. The
top 16 squads from the
sectional will
advance to the state
finals at the Macon
Centreplex on November
12. By Region 3 Di
agreement the squad
with the highest score
from the region at the
sectional will claim the
region title. A season
ago SCHS was the region
runner-up to ECI as the
Lady Tigers had a higher
score at the sectional.
As of now Metter is
the only other school
from the region with a
competitive
schedule listed. In 2020
the Lady Gamecocks
won the Region 3A
championship which was
their fifth consecutive
after four straight in
Region 4AA.

Taking four of the top ten
places the SCHS Lady Gamecock

Canetto had an impressive
individual day last Thursday

could not win the meet as they
had but four runners to finish.
Defending region champion
Claxton claimed the meet with
47 points while Jefferson County
was second with 70. Bryan
County, which started with five
runners also finished but four
as they had one Lady Redskin

Ashley Langley, the team’s top
returning runner (sixth at the region meet), came in ninth with a time of 30.47
while Lynnlie Rountree was tenth at 31.15. The 24 total for the four girls meant a
finish of 22 nd (there were only 20 runners in the field) would have enabled SCHS
to finish ahead of Claxton. Bryan County’s four finishers (4, 6, 7, and 13) totaled
30. To win Claxton had finishes of 1, 8,11,12,
and 15 while Jefferson County took places 5,14,16,17, and 18. SCHS, which has a
roster of but six had an injured runner and an ill runner.
