My name is Avery Heath and I am so excited to be one of the 6th grade student coaches this year! I have been cheering since the 6th grade as a Jr Raider Cheerleader as well as throughout high school. My final season will be this year which will conclude my 7th year of cheerleading! I could list many things that I love about cheerleading, but my favorite part is the friendships and bonds you create with your teammates as well as your coaches. Cheerleading is a great way to make lasting friendships and meet many knew people who will be there to support you. I am very excited to be a part of the Jr Raiders Jr Coaching staff to meet new people, and make every Jr Raider Cheerleader have the best season they could possibly have. We are going to have a great season!

My name is Rachel Firestone and I am in eleventh grade. I have been cheering for six years. I love cheering because I like being involved with pumping up the crowd and getting the fans excited for the game. I know the guys on the field appreciate the show of support. I am excited to be involved with the Jr Coaching staff this season because I want to give the girls the kind of experience that I had with the Jr Raider program. I always felt prepared for game days and I felt close to my Jr Coaches. If I ever needed anything, I knew that a Jr. Coach was there to help. I’m looking forward to having fun with the girls this season.

My name is Emily Firestone and I am in ninth grade. I started cheering with the Jr. Raider program when I was in sixth grade. I love cheering because it truly is a team sport. I have made many lasting friendships. Game days are so much fun and it’s a chance to show off our school spirit as we support the football team. I am so excited to be a part of the Jr Coaching staff this season because I have the best memories of my time in the program. I really want to give back and make it just as fun and exciting for the new season of girls, as my Jr Coaches made it for me. I remember how nervous I was about learning all of the cheers and chants in the beginning. My Jr Coaches made it easy and gave me a ton of support. I am excited to get started with the season and look forward to helping the girls any way I can.
