On Monday evening during the break between the boys and girls basketball games Chesnee honored their very own state championship competition cheerleading squad who back in November won the SCHSL AAA State Championship at Colonial Life Arena.
While the Eagles won the championship they also done it in an impressive fashion by winning the competition with a perfect score of 300. "I think when you have one opportunity and you all work for that one opportunity then you're one-hundred percent perfect. That is pretty amazing," said Chesnee athletic director James Hyatt about the team's perfect winning score. For three seniors the state championship is their second experience accomplishing this feat, as they also won it in 2015, and with all the hard work they have put in this one may be just a little more special. "It's just a great feeling knowing that all the hard work from 2015 until now has paid off," said Maci Hollifield. ""I couldn't have asked for anything more from Chesnee cheerleading as it has taught me so many life lessons. It has taught me how to expand and become a leader." When the cheerleading squad returned home from Columbia they were met with an impromptu parade down the main street through Chesnee. "It feels amazing and I'm just so happy all of our hard work paid off," said Tori Cash said about being a state champion. "It felt great to know our hometown was behind us and made all the work for eight months worth it." "I feel really honored and blessed with the support the community has shown us," said Bethani Dalton about the support the community has shown her team. She also said her coaches were special in making this happen, "They taught me to never give up and give it everything you got." The Eagles competition cheerleading is coached by Allie Tyner and assisted by Ashlyn Campbell while Deanna Watson is the team sponsor. The members of the 2019 state championship winning Chesnee competition cheer squad are Nichole Allen, Aubrey Aparis, Brianna Barnett, Kylee Briles,Tori Cash, Jada Churchill, Anna Kate Cooley, Bethanie Dalton, Melayna Davis, Michaela Davis, Destiny Dawkins, Emma Fogle, Callie Gray, Maci Hollifield, Abigail Johnson, Alexis Kincaid, Trinity Rhymer, Mckenzie Scruggs, Mallory Smith, Katie Faith Watson, Laikyn Westmoreland, Reagan Westmoreland, Savannah Wilkie, and Avery Wilson.
