✨SENIOR SPOTLIGHT✨
Our next Senior spotlight is our Captain Natalie! Here’s her Senior message:

“It’s crazy to think that my last football season as a Blue Angel is coming to an end. Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always loved coming to cheer on our Blue Devils. Year after year I attended little blue angel camps, looking up to all of the high school girls, hoping to one day be in their shoes…. and here we are! I couldn’t be more thankful for all of the people who have poured into me over these past 6 years as a Blue Angel. To my coaches, Lossey and Coach JJ: thank you so much for your endless support, tough love, laughs, cries, and commitment to making our team the best we can possibly be. I appreciate y’all more than you know! To my mom: not many people can say that they have had the opportunity to be coached my their parent. I am so grateful to be able to say that I have. You have shaped me into the dancer, and person that I am today, and for that I am forever grateful. Lastly, to my teammates: I am so proud of each and every one of you. This team is not only built on talent, but also on sisterhood, hard work, and determination. When I think back on my favorite dance team memories throughout the years, they all include you guys. I know my experience would not be half of what it is without y’all. I can’t wait to see what the rest of this year has in store for all of us! I love you all so much!!! Remember what I always say, We dance for each other, with each other 🫶 and as always… BA4L 🤍”
