Eagle High School Cheer Team brings the spirit
Cheer captains Maggie Holbrook and McKenley Gupton say the team’s close bond is a big part of what makes the experience special.
“I really feel like every single one of these girls is like my family,” Holbrook said.
Being a captain also means supporting teammates on and off the mat, Gupton said.
The team’s preparation can come with long hours. Last season included early-morning practices, after-school games and weekend competitions.
Holbrook said the demanding schedule made seeing the team’s hard work even more rewarding.
Now, the Eagles are ready to bring that energy to Friday Night Lights.
“I’m excited for this week’s game and I think it’ll be a good game,” Gupton said.
