Monroe County’s only competition cheerleading squad is putting the finishing touches on their routine before heading to the FHSAA Region 4 Championships on Jan. 25. The Lady Conchs will be competing in the small, non-tumbling division against a dozen other teams in hopes of another bid to states to make it two years in a row for the spirited crew. A dozen Lady Conchs will take to the mat to perform an intricately-choreographed routine full of high-energy dance and complicated stunting.
Coach Ariana Corsi is hard at work with the team. She knows that every point counts, and the girls have been polishing some new moves to wow the judges.
“We have an amazing routine with a lot of complicated skills with a new difficult pyramid that we are working on with flips, a twist and extended two-man stunts,” she said.
Should the Conchs prevail and outscore the other teams, they can earn a bid to states in Lakeland on Jan. 31.
