Good afternoon to our Knights families, friends, and beautiful community! 💚💛🤍
WHEW! Let’s talk about our SIX TEAMS and what they brought to that floor at STATES! 🏆
To our D8 CHEER—FIRST PLACE out of 13 teams! You babies DID THAT! You left it on the mat, hit ZERO, and still had love left to pour into your fellow D8 dancers. You encouraged them, supported them, and showed everyone what sportsmanship looks like. We are extremely proud of you! To the coaches who keep it together through the easy, the hard, and everything in between: you are seen. The time, patience, and love you pour into these babies do not go unnoticed.
To our D12 CHEER, although your journey to Nationals ended, that does not define who you are as a team or erase everything you accomplished. Stand firm and stand tall in what you HAVE accomplished. Despite the tears and disappointment, when you look in that mirror, hold your head HIGH. That is exactly how we see you. We are proud of you, we believe in you, and your growth does not end here. To your coaches, thank you for loving and guiding these girls through the celebrations AND the hard moments.
To our D16 CHEER, let’s talk about the GRIT. The sore bodies, the exhaustion, the pressure of balancing school, life, and this sport—and yet you girls kept showing up. Timing may not have been on our side, but let’s recognize what you DID do: you improved your score, surprised yourselves, and pushed through the challenges in front of you. Give yourselves your flowers! To the coaches who keep these girls going, we see, acknowledge, and value you as coaches, as people, and as an important part of this organization.
To our D8 DANCE… WOW. WOW. WOW! We were prepared to be entertained, but we were NOT prepared for THAT PERFORMANCE! You kept the crowd smiling while smiling yourselves. You were focused, you were ready, and your scores reflected the work you put in. You earned your place, babies! To the coaches who show up and figure it out, who pour in, laugh with them, know when to protect, and know when to push: we see you, and we appreciate you!
To our D12 DANCE—FIRST PLACE! You DID THAT! The energy, the WAR, the precision, the “Knuck If You Buck” in you—we saw ALL OF IT! You had our attention and that stage BUMPING! You earned every score, every smile, every congratulations, and that TROPHY! To your coaches, thank you for helping turn that fire into a performance we will never forget!
To our D16 DANCE—we’re TWO FOR TWO with SECOND PLACE! And we are proud of that! You adjusted on the fly and performed to music that was not the version you had been practicing with. From costume malfunctions to one hurdle after another, you kept going. You moved with grace and intention, and you exceeded my expectations. You ladies carry so much on your shoulders and in your hearts, and you still show up for yourselves and each other. To your coaches, thank you for continuing to pour into these girls and helping them find their way through every challenge.
To ALL of our athletes: we celebrate your placements, your progress, your courage, and the way you keep showing up.
To ALL of our coaches: your work reaches far beyond a routine. Thank you for every adjustment, every pep talk, every moment of patience, and every bit of yourselves you give.
And to our beautiful VILLAGE: thank you for showing up, cheering loud, and loving these babies through it all!
There’s something about being a KNIGHT. There’s something about who we are. There’s something about that GREEN, GOLD, AND WHITE! 💚💛🤍
We are proud of EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU! 🏆
