“I couldn’t be more proud of these young ladies. I enjoy watching them cheer together. They go out, have fun and cheer their hearts out,” said coach Cece Thornhill. She’s speaking about the 2022-2023 PCHS Spirit Squad.
The girls learned over 50 cheers, jumps and kicks this season.
Two foreign exchange students add spark to the squad - Benedetta Pompignoli from Italy and Nova Karlsson from Sweden. They are both first-time cheerleaders. Pompignoli and Karlsson graduate this spring along with Brooklyn Mitchell, Marya Burke, Autumn Holtsclaw, Lupita Lopez and Kyria Angel.
The rest of the squad are juniors - Danya Zepeda, Kaylah Hanley and Jena Pilon. Angel and Hanley will play basketball this winter while the rest of the squad cheers for their success.
