With cheerleading being a sport that is team-based and has little room for individuality, choosing an MVP can sometimes be hard. When looking at this team of incredibly talented girls, we looked at who would be the hardest to replace on the competition mat. Who had we trusted to be in all of the most difficult portions of the routine? When we realized that athlete was Jenny, we also realized she was consistently one of the hardest workers. She constantly works to improve herself and is always looking at how she could better serve her teammates. We are very lucky to have coached an athlete like her and are proud to award her with MVP this season.

She is always willing to try new things and strives hard for her team. This dancer’s dedication and talents are undeniable. Her commitment towards her team has never faltered and Freshman Patricia Rood is totally deserving of this award.

With a ferocious headlock, Robert went from a back up to placing at the league tournament and taking 6th place at the CHSAA Tournament. Robert Serviss is this year’s MIP.
