SCHS Puts Two On All-Region Cheer Team

Two Stephens County High School competition cheerleaders receive recognition at the region level.

Monday, the Region 8-AAAA competition cheerleading team was announced.

Earning all-region honors from Stephens County were McKinley Bennett and Mallorie Colwell.

Region 8-AAAA competition cheerleading champion North Oconee led all schools in the region with eight representatives on the all-region team. St. Pius had six and Jefferson had four.

This past season, Stephens County finished fourth in Region 8-AAAA competition cheerleading.

That qualified Stephens County for the state finals again this year, joining the top 32 teams in AAAA in the state.

The Lady Indians just missed out on qualifying for the 16-team state finals after competing in the first round of the state competition.
