“This was our hardest move and took us months to get right,” said Captain Phoebe Schuch. “Then we had to replace one girl who broke her back with Hope Scarborough (top right) and she had to learn it in a week.” (Photo by Crew Roberts)

Stunting is part of the process in this team’s program. Here, the ladies just landed a few flips as their hair flies straight up. Lady lion cheer won state this year, and hoped to repeat this year.
