Featured Athlete - Zoe Skipper, Cheerleading

It's often said that if you aren't having fun playing a sport then you shouldn't be playing. Watch Sophomore Zoe Skipper cheer and you see an athlete having fun! You will be hard pressed to catch her without that huge smile on her face.

Listen to what her coach had to say about this young lady.

"Before joining the squad two years ago, this bright young lady could be seen doing cheers and dancing along to the school fight song in the stands at home football and basketball games. And after hearing her speak at a school assembly - I just knew we had to have her on our squad!"

"Zoe shines bright on our sidelines with her contagious smile, sincere spirit and love for cheering on Blu Jay Nation! She brings sharp motions and volume to all of our cheers and performances. She has worked extremely hard this summer to further develop her tumbling and backspot skills. She takes any critiques or corrections that may come her way and applies them without hesitation. She is strong, talented and coachable - I appreciate all of these qualities in "Z""

"Her dedication to her faith, family and friendships are beautiful and real in all she does. At just 16 years old, she makes me want to be a better person - she motivates me to live my life with purpose. That's pretty awesome if ya ask me." - Coach Gilbert
