KHS Varsity Cheer is State Bound!

Congratulations to the Kearney High School Varsity Cheer team, which punched its ticket to State with an outstanding third-place finish at the Regional Cheerleading Competition on Saturday, Oct. 3, at Liberty North High School!

The Bulldogs entered Regionals after taking a different approach to this season. Rather than spending months focused on a competition routine, the team devoted the summer and fall to strengthening individual skills, sideline presence and KHS traditions. They put their complete competition routine together in less than a week before taking the floor at Regionals.
And they delivered.

KHS finished just 1.7 points out of first place while earning some of the session’s highest scores in Dance, Creativity, Performance and Pyramids. The Bulldogs also “hit zero,” completing their routine with no deductions or penalties, something only three teams in their session accomplished.

Congratulations to our Bulldog cheerleaders and coaches for the composure, teamwork and determination they showed when it mattered most.

Next stop: Mizzou! KHS Varsity Cheer will compete for a state title on Oct. 24 at the University of Missouri in Columbia. Go Bulldogs!
